The U.S. Army has the highest percentage of obese or overweight personnel, followed closely by the Air Force, Navy and then Marines as the fittest service branch. View Quote |

I don't what you're talking about. I know a couple badass Army soldiers. I'm huge on fitness. Fit'ness whole pizza in my mouth!

I wonder if those figures include the reserve components. That would make more sense.
|
|
I was absolutely assured by certain members here that the USAF was the fattest.
|

Navy just doesn't bother measuring body fat on their CPOs.
self reported at least. no one says the AF is fat. Homosexuals are famous for keeping a low body fat. |

We got told to stop hazing the fat bodies, they took away our blood rank and other things changed... I blame the higher ups and politicians.
Couldn't even sing the good cadences, they were "banned"... we did when we got away from to many eyes anyway but the fact that we weren't supposed to... come the fuck on. About the time ACU's came out it all went retarded. |

click bait.
They measure by BMI. The Air Force and Navy have the highest percentage of women serving: 17.8% for the Navy, and 18.7% for the Air Force |

I remember some fat mfers on my ship that were so fat (how fat were they?) Mfers were so fat, If they were ahead of me in the chow line, I gave up and went to actually do some work.
When we did vert reps, we would throw the boxes of ham hocks directly over the side so those fat fucks would have less to eat. |

BMI? So the Marines are malnourished and weak? View Quote I think their standards are a little too stringent in an era of 70 pounds combat loads. Rangers used to be skinny as fuck but they have beefed the hell up over the past 15 years. And it seems like CAG, who used to be freakin' huge, have gotten smaller. 18 minute 3 mile is a bad ass standard. But most men can't do that and maintain an optimal amount of strength. But they do look really cute in uniform. not excusing the fat bodies endemic in the army. But you shouldn't be 5'10" and 145 in today's combat |

So they concluded this by BMI calculations and include the entire fucking national guard?

BCT must be easier than I imagine if you have actual obese people on active duty...

I thought you were given time to slim down, and if you didn't you would be separated.

What the hell kind of bullshotz is this? How are these people even in the military? My brother got put on the overweight program when he was barely 5 pounds overweight in the army. How are these fat f**** able to get that fat while active?

View Quote We used to send fat kids home all the time, some COCs fail in their duties. |

well obviously they are including the guard & reserve.does the USMC EVEN HAVE RESERVIST???
Also the USMC has no medical where you will find high numbers of surgeons, doctors ecetra who are in their 60s & have no weight standards. this study is stupid unless you compare infantry to infantry. there is no control the USAF, and Navy should not even need to be studied. in this manner the BMI there applies only for fit & appearance of the uniformm. |

They forgot a military branch, there are 5 armed forces in the United States, not 4.
|

No surprise there. They can barely fill the ranks with semi-quality Soldiers. Most of the age eligible pool are ahitheads these days. I'll take a little overweight in the soft skill MOS's over criminals.
Combat arms is a different story. |

I thought that food served in the mess halls and in the MRE's to the armed services was scientifically selected to provide the proper amount of nutrients, lowest amounts of bad things (fats, salt, etc.) and was engineered to help the armed services maintain a sculpted physique while maintaining high-cardio. No?

was joking; but you're right. Saturated and trans fats are bad. "Regular" fat (in moderation; like anything else) is not. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

Fat is not bad. And I don't really care if it's saturated, trans, gay, queer, or whatever, as long as it's fat. |
