I heard they already have a plan though. They are going to form Romeo Echo Mike Foxtrot platoons for the fat guyz.
I have been noticing weight gains on the military installation I frequent. When I see these folks I tell my wife that the weight standards must have changed. But this was occurring before covid lockdowns.
Doesn’t Big Pharma have new magic drugs to burn off the fat and reduce the weight. Oh yeah, gotta have mRNA in everything new of course.
Warrior types tend to be physical and athletic, more likely to desire to be fit, and to have activities that contribute to fitness, sports, camping, backpacking, climbing, wrestling, and grappling, just doing things, mixing things up and constantly competing, even when drinking and partying they are moving around, going at each other, doing things.
The non-warrior types and women are more likely to be inactive except for the minimum that is required by the rules.
If you eat as much as you were prior to doing daily pt and pt gets cut off........
I’m starting to think the US Dept of Defense is really just a massive, bloated, bureaucratic jobs program - like your local department of motor vehicles (but with nukes)
And those lockdowns did absolutely nothing to lower the curve. Just part of a grand coup to get Trump out of the Whitehouse.

This is a no-brainer issue. Lots of guys and gals need to drop weight before enlistment because military have done studies about which recruits are best suited to complete basic training successfully. Furthermore, while serving, lots of soldiers guys and gals are borderline on height/weight because they are bigger stature people and their job doesn’t necessarily require a lot of physical exercise or movement each day. Lock these types of on the borderline height/weight standard soldiers down for months....I promise you there going to put on weight. It’s really a non-issue. Put them back on a PT regimen something they must do each day, until they reach a set goal, and that weight will drop off. I saw this a lot in the 90’s when guys wanted to re-enlist, they often times needed to drop weight in order to get their paperwork approved. No big deal.
They will slim down fine after they get their new McBug sandwiches..

Easy to understand...I always cherished my visits to the mess hall at Fort Knox,Fort Meade...
