back in the day, when there was a draft, the unfit became fit after boot camp.
Fat was no big deal. judges were giving young men the option of 2 years in jail or join the military.

times sure have changed. Not sure I would want to be in today’s “woke” military

“back in the day, when there was a draft, the unfit became fit after boot camp.”

When I voluntarily joined back in 80, I came in 16 pounds overweight. I lost that 16 pounds very quickly and another 20 after that. It was good to have a motivational TI assist me in developing my running skills.
