Sure, carrying an 80 pound pack into combat, how many women can do that?
Radar operator, etc, on a Naval ship? No problem, they might even do a better job provided the tension between sex starved horny young men doesn't out weigh the job they are doing.
That being said to get that job more suited for their skills still requires a lessening of boot camp standards to even get them in the barracks door.
The 50% that can do 3 pull ups? Big deal, that low number was set just to get some women into the Corps for PC reasons. How many 20 year old old male Marines do you think have problems doing 5-10 times that?
