Hello --
I'm writing an article for a paper in Philadelphia about Army research into obesity.
I just though I'd ask: When you joined or got recruited, did any of you have to promise to lose weight (or really shape up) before they'd let you in?
Of course I know the Army has a weight and fitness standard -- a body-mass index of 30 or under. I'm just interested in how they helped you reach it.
Any info or first-hand experience would be great.
Please message me individually.
Thanks.

our resident turd can answer that one, he used this as justification to gain weight just to get thrown out, and when that failed, he skipped out on his unit!

Dammit, I was about to say that.

The resident turd's name is "idiot". Well, that's what we call him, but you can call him "retard". Smiler
