What about the fat president?
You mean The Commander in Cheetos?
“Today, at my direction, every member of the joint force, at every rank, is required to take a PT test twice a year, as well as meet height and weight requirements twice a year, every year of service,” he said.
So he’s going to use the BMI to tell whether someone is obese or not. BMI is great for statistics, but terrible for assessing individuals. A lot of military guys do bodybuilding and would be assessed as “obese” by the BMI even though they are fitter than most.
For example: I work out, have no visible fat, can run 10k under 50 minutes and still fall right into the “overweight” category because I lift weights. And I don’t even consider myself particularly big.
Meet height requirements twice a year as well? I wasn’t even aware the military even had height requirements, are folk shrinking or something?
They do have height requirements in the sense that they use such standardized equipment that you cant be either extremely tall or short and still serve. Like you cant be in the navy if you cant fit in the beds on a ship, which is logical. However that same person might be able to fit in somewhere outside the navy depending on how tall they are. But if youre 7 ft tall you probably just cant serve, as youre too tall not to be a liability in some way pretty much everywhere.
That said, Im not aware of anyone whos height significantly fluctuates (outside of normal everyday fluctuations) on a month to month basis
nah he’s just opening recruitment to 10 year olds boys (probably because they are stealing Trump’s girls)
Are you suggesting that the same military that voted overwhelmingly for Trump, might be incredibly inconvenienced the proclamations of the morons he appointed?
Say it ain’t so Sally. Say it ain’t so.
Yeah Donald for example.

A high score on the test exempts you from weight standards. Google says it’s 465/500
he had them all in to call them fat?
Secretary of Trolling
“Now everyone please turn to document number 43298 in your packet entitled ‘Facts About Your Mother.’”
If only he was that smart/witty.
sad.
A lot of talk about professionalism, but nothing about drinking on the job.
This is exactly the type of priority someone who has spent most of his recent life sitting in a makeup artists chair surrounded by a estheticians. - note that might not be a word.
Wait, serious question, is this why he issued a global recall and threw the US military into a tizzy worldwide? To talk about BMI?
To get them all in a place where they can all talk to each other offline around an imfamously paranoid person, for better or worse.
Better than some alternatives.
