Currently, a woman Marine Corps candidate can choose either pull-ups or the less physically taxing flexed-arm hang to demonstrate her upper body strength. The physiology of the female body makes pull-ups more difficult for the average woman than the average man.

Astronaut Joe Acaba has been all over the world and to outer space and back. His life has taken him from college to the Marine Corps, to the Peace Corps, to NASA.

On Wednesday, Acaba brought his experience and knowledge to Baylor students in a broadcast interview from the Johnson Space Center in Houston.

The interview was broadcast at multiple universities across the southwest. Students who came to Moody Memorial Library were able to ask Acaba questions about the Peace Corps and his other experiences.
