...Pillsbury Doughboy.

As long as he passes the APFT without waivers, I don't care what he looks like.

I'm more concerned about what he did while in uniform.

Passing the APFT does not have much to do with being over the Army weight standards. I knew a lot of guys who always passed their APFT, didn’t look as fat as this guy and were placed on the Army over weight program. Being on the overweight program disqualifies one from most favorable actions and choice assignments. My son generally scores over 300 on his APFT, is very muscular and gets taped every time he does a PT test because his weight is over the allowed limit for his height. He does pass the tape test. A 6 foot tall guy over 40 is only allowed to be 203 lbs under current Army standards. Vindman looks pretty obviously over weight to me and he doesn’t look like his neck is big enough to pass the tape.
