I go to several military bases, both AF and Army. I am a amazed at the fatasses in uniform. Amazed. Young and older alike. There are big butts and muffintops everywhere.
They seem to have forgotten a lot of their standards lately. But even when I was in, the tape test was bogus. I had my body fat measured by underwater weighing at 13% and the tape said 24%. For a large muscular person to stay in the Army they need to maintain very low body fat compared to little guys who can have a fat ass and a muffin top because the come in under the weight and don’t have to tape test.
