Military Weight standards blow since they stopped measuring frame size. Apparently i'm 1% body fat over the limit even though i weigh less and have more muscle than the last time I was measured and 2% under the limit (would've been 4 under but they lowered the limit.)
Then I see guys with big guts passing since they dont have muscle mass and therefore dont weigh much. Funny, weight is enforced and page 7s written but the people who keep failing PT (which I always pass) dont get nothing. There just told "ah well do it agian whenever.)
Im just gonna re weigh friday. Basically i gotta go in the morning and my waist will be 1/2 inch less so ill pass.
A friend of mine couldnt ship to marine boot cause his max weight got changed from 243 to 218 a couple weeks before ship. (you can be taped once your in, but to join you have to be at a specific weight, they dont care if you are pure muscle or pure fat as long as you aint heavy.)
