I was in the Marines, 1976 I think, when they switched to BMI as a measure of ‘fatbodies’.
A guy in my unit was a body builder and was short. There was no fat on him, but according to the new standards he was fat.
Every day at 2 pm he had to quit his normal duties as an electronics tech and report to Fatbody Platoon for two hours of exercise and jogging.
He didn’t care, he loved it!..............
“... and report to Fatbody Platoon...”
I’ve heard that in the Air Force it’s called the “Piggie Platoon”.
He was an honorary member of the Chub Club. If he had a thicker neck he wouldn’t come up as over body fat.
