Run them through extended basic training. And I mean, EXTENDED.

Run them through extended basic training. And I mean, EXTENDED

Why? Hand them a suggested diet and exercise routine and tell them to come back when they can meet the requirements. Let the economy weed them out!

There were three fatties in my BCT Company. They got to take part in our extra fitness runs every morning before the rest of the Company's normal fitness activity. Two lost a lot of fat and gained muscle. None were as fit at the end as those of us lucky “acting Jack” leaders who were tasked with getting them in shape. And of course none of us were as fit as the DI’s who did it with every BCT Company one after another.

There was a small amount of physical abuse to induce their continued participation. At the end two graduated with us, the third got recycled to an incoming BCT Company.
