You don't need to have the same physicality in every role at those jobs though? An entry requirement is usually to establish physical fitness, but they don't just give you a gun and a slap on the ass and tell you to go shoot some people. Whatever role you find yourself in, there's going to be a lot of training and further physical examination before you actually get to go out there and do it. You're likely going to have a long period of supervised work before you're allowed to work independently or expected to be a vital part of a team.

Not everyone who joins goes on to do the most physical roles anyway. They relax the requirements because they need more people, and then they worry about finding them suitable roles to fill once they're in. Not everyone in the army is out on the front lines jumping on grenades or carrying their wounded companions to safety. Even during wartime there are still supply management officers and radar technicians. We don't live in the middle ages.

I wonder if you feel the same way about men of smaller stature?
What about women who can pass the physical requirements?

I am so sorry, but I got completely lost when you said "and a slap on the ass" because I started imagining how it'd be if that was the standard social thing to do when somebody was starting something new or had finished training.

Here's your diploma! ASS-SMACK!

Welcome to the company! ASS-SMACK!

Here's your driver's license! ASS-SMACK!

And - and - and that lead to me thinking "Actually, smacking someone's clothed butt is probably more hygenic than shaking somebody's sweaty possibly unwashed hand" and I thought, wouldn't it be wonderful if instead of shaking hands, or kissing cheeks, or hugging, everyone just went about smacking asses as a hello and as a goodbye.

And I thought, damn. That's a world I want to live in.

And I completely lost track of what you were actually trying to talk about or what this thread is even about.

... ass-smack!

I can't remember who said it all the time to me growing up, but I feel like it was an actual thing.

I hate how germy shaking hands is. We should adopt the nod or a raised hand. Smack on the ass might be a little personal. I feel like you need to earn that ass-smack.

I... I think this thread was about women in important "man only" jobs. In which case, the ass-smack is probably horribly inappropriate and sexist. Oops.

aaaah, right. sexism.

in ass-slapping utopia, ass-slapping is gender neutral. everyone has an ass, and everyone can give an ass-slap. :D

but yeah, head-nods or some sort of non-touching dance would totally fix the germ problem without potentially uncomfortable body contact.

... still ... ass-slaps!

If it was a casual non-sexual thing that everybody did, I'd probably be okay with it.

We could touch butts.

Bum kiss.

An affectionate twerk.
