That was my first thought, great new for the fat bodies. I am old and over weight, but as a young Marine I was a PT stud. I battled weight as an over the hill Chief, but alway stayed in standards. Even on Marine bases I am now seeing over weight Marines and Sailors. I saw a Marine Colonel who was shorter and heavier then me and I easily have 15 years on him. How does that happen unless he is near retirement and does not care. At the Army base I noticed a large number of big (not pregnant) female Soldiers. Surprisingly, the Navy actually seems to be stricter in that regard, but I heard they relaxed standards for females again. Imagine rushing to your stations during a general emergency and having a Staci Abrams in front of you trying to get through the hatches!

So your were a Marine and then a sailor? Why that decision, if I may ask?
