Sure...they send you down to the mess hall and have you fill up on bananas until you're up to
fighting weight.

If you're trying to go the other way (Don't ask and don't tell)

anyway I found this solution:

quote:
Lose Weight Fast!



There one was a heavyset guy who had tried every diet in the
world in an attempt to lose weight? He tried the Scarsdale
diet, the Navy diet, Weight Watchers, and many more. None
worked. One day, he was reading the Washington Post when he
noticed a small ad that read:

Lose weight: Only $1.00 a pound
Call (202) 555-0238

The man decided to give it a try and called the number. A
voice on the other end asked, "How much weight do you want to
lose?"

The man responded, "Ten pounds."

The voice replied, "Very well, give me your credit card
number and we'll have a representative over to your house in
the morning."

About 9:00 am the next morning the man gets a knock on the
door. There stood a beautiful redhead, completely naked
except for a sign around her neck stating, "If you catch me,
you can have me."

Well,the hefty fellow chased her upstairs, downstairs, over
sofas, through the kitchen, all around the house. Finally,
panting and wheezing like a dog, he did catch her. When he
was through enjoying himself, she said, "Quick, go into the
bathroom and weigh yourself." He did just that and was amazed
to find that he had lost ten pounds, right to the ounce!

That evening he called the number again. The voice on the
other end asked, "How much weight do you want to lose?"--to
which the somewhat-less-overweight man replied, "Twenty
pounds." "Very well," the voice on the phone told him, "Give
me your credit card number and we'll have a representative
over to your house in the morning."

"At about 8:00 am the next morning the man receives a knock
on the door. When he opens the door he sees a beautiful
blonde dressed only in track shoes and a sign around her neck
stating, "If you catch me, you can have me." The chase took a
good while longer this time and the man nearly passed out,
but he finally did catch her. When he was through she told
him, "Quick, run into the bathroom and weigh yourself." He
ran to the bathroom and found he had lost another 20 pounds!
"This is fantastic!" he thought to himself.

Later that evening he called the number again and the voice
at the other end asked, "How much weight do you want to
lose?" "Fifty pounds!" the man exclaimed. "Fifty pounds?" the
voice asked, "That's an awful lot of weight to lose at one
time." The man replied, "Listen buddy, here's my credit card
number, you just have your representative over here in the
morning!" and he hung up the phone.

About 6:00 am the next morning the man gets out of bed,
splashes on some cologne and gets all ready for the next
representative. At about 7:00 am he gets a knock on the door.
When he opens the door, he sees this large gorilla with a
sign around his neck stating, "If I catch you, I am going to
have you."




(I'd say he went 'ape')

Another question will they allow you to enlist with a history of knee surgeries? I guess i could ask my recruiter but i'd rather ask on here first.

If you can pass the PT test and make it up and down all those ladders...then you're ok.

If you're going in with a bunch of physical profiles then you better have a desired skill which is in 'short supply'
but...I don't mean (squatty quartermasters)

with the knee surgery, it depends on how bad the doctors at MEPS think of it. im prettysure that if you can complete the IFA (initial fitness assessment: 42 pushups 50 situps and 1.5 miles under 12:30) then they will write a "waiver" for the surgery. as for the over weight thing. all i have to say is run! run daily man. start small, and very very slow. like your jog should be like 9 to 10 inch steps and at a march speed. start there make sure you dont stop till you hit 2 miles. then work your way to 3 miles. then work on your speed and breathing. i would reccomend running 3 miles every other day. more than that and you are putting too much stress on your joints and muscles. i got that from an ionman coach so i think its pretty good advice. oh and dont eat like shit. if its questionable dont eat it. resh veggies, grilled meats. and rice and pasta. rice and pasta only in once cup servings a day. good luck my man.
