army body fat : America's ever-plumping obesity problem

The head dude at the U.S. Army Recruiting Battalion Kansas City office ( Lieutenant ) hates the term "Army Fat Camp." But Lieutenant grudgingly admits that because of America's ever-plumping obesity problem, the upper echelons of the U.S. military have started discussing the possibility of creating a special program within basic training for recruits who come in a little heavy. Are you know? The Army's got height/weight standards for recruits.

Taller people are "authorized" to carry more weight than shorter folks, Reinkober says. If a potential recruit's weight is right on or over the limit for their height, the recruiters pull out the measuring tape and determine a body fat percentage based on the width around the wrist, neck and waist. Recruiters are supposed to work with people to get them down to the proper weight, even if it means jogging with them and coaching them, week by week.
