Pull Up vs Chin Up : Ranger Standard

[Shock]

Hello again Gentlemen,

From what I've read the MINIMUM is 6 chin ups for all those attending RASP.

A friend told me the standard used to be 6 pull ups.

Any insight from the people on the board on why the change?

This could just be an issue of symantics. Generally in civilian life, a pull-up is with palms facing away from you and a chin-up is with palms facing you. Generally, the Army calls palms facing you a pull-up. Back in my day, the Army way was with palms facing you.

I understand. Thank you.
