Height/Weight Conflicting Standards

[dorque]

Why is there so much conflicting information about the height/weight standards for soldiers?

The Battle Book Extreme listed my height/weight for a 27 year old female as 137 pounds! At meps, they said 151 was my limit, and this calculator says 149. Sigh. I will play it safe and attempt to go down to 134, but I guess worse comes to worse, they will just have to tape me and realize its mostly muscle. hehe. Oh, and to make matters worse, the scale at RSP is at least 6 pounds off.

[apagea99]

RSP got my weight correctly, but my height was measured 2" shorter than I actually am! I'm 35 y/o, 70", and 181 lbs right now which is still 8 lbs below my max allowable, but I got measured as being 68" and got flagged for being overweight. I got taped which was really funny due to the fact I have a 32" waist. The Sgt who was doing to taping looked at me and said "What the **** are you doing over here?!". When I told him I was called out, he said a few choice words, taped me, and sent me on my way.

I think the 2 PVTs who were measuring heights weren't doing it correctly. I think I'll point it out next time rather than get stuck being taped again for no reason.

They don't measure our height at RSP, just ask us how tall we are. One of the sergeants then looks at you and either agrees or tells you to guess again. :D

But those manual scales we have are ****....measures me about 5 lbs more than my digital one at home. I think those things were manufactured before I was born.

Yes... I'm 5# heavier than I was and I'm working out more now than before. I know I have some weight to lose, but I can't believe how "off" they are.

Sit ups cut down your gut quite a bit after a while.

[qcomer]

No such thing as spot reducing, situps cut down your gut just as much as bicep curls do.

Cardio, diet, and working out (Especially large muscle groups - chest, back, legs) will melt the gut away.

[plano2001]

Cardio, diet, and working out (Especially large muscle groups - chest, back, legs) will melt the gut away.

Foxnews cited some study the other morning where researchers had shown that rats who were fed a low-fat diet were healthier than those fed a high-fat diet, but a separate group of rats who were fed a low-fat diet were also given crushed, freeze-dried blueberries - those rats overall had a lower percentage of the mid-section fat (forgot the scientific name for it). All the rats had similar exercise.

Apparently they found some compound that occurs in dark-skinned fruit (red grape skins, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, etc.) that has shown the ability to help target fat around the mid-section, in conjunction with a healthy diet and active lifestyle. Same type of neat stuff that occurs in red wine promoting heart healthiness. (But everything in moderation....don't go eat 10 lbs of blackberries...too much sugar!)

But the bills for the study were paid by some "National Blueberry farming blahblahblah group" so interpret however you want to.

EDIT: Found source - http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,517302,00.html

It's a "cheat" for a tape test.

Do a **** load of abs each day for two days, fast the night before you tape test. and do abs before the tape test (couple hours before)

and it'll tighten your stomach :D

[qcomer]

youre talking about creaing a pump, which will not shrink your stomach, tighten the muscles yes....shrink, however, no. There will still be the same amount of fat on top of them no matter how pumped they are.

You could always sit in a sauna, then go running, then back to the sauna.

I would not advise that though, can mess with levels for bloodwork and other stuff since you would have to do quite a few hours worth to drop significant weight.

[dorque]

I find that getting drunk on vodka and then dehydrated the next morning usually takes an inch or so off my midsection. Never done it before drill though. :)

[Draco771]

Draco

How do you know if that would work if you have never been in the army and never taken a Pt Test or weigh in..Oh wait i guess one of the generals you talk to said so....

Are you really that much of a simpleton?

I've taken 15 APFTs administered by Army NCOs.

And have weighed in/tape tested 22 times total.

Are you really that much of a Simpleton?

[Draco771]

I've also taken a Navy PFT

and a Marine Corps PFT

and several RPFTs administered by a couple fomer Rangers who drop by my gym time to time.

Not lying at all

RPFT, did good, but pull-ups kinda F*d me, I had to do them assisted w/ 20% weight assistance.

missed the two mile by 2 minutes (17:32)

5 mile I missed by 10 minutes (50:22 minutes =/)

PU and SIT-ups I past on the APFT, and RPFT, scored 62 PU, and 64 SU.

the Marine PFT, got 27 minutes for the three mile (failing) assisted pull-ups with 20% weight assist got 15 pull-ups (but it doesn't count) the crunches (I think it's pretty girly you guys do crunches like that) I got 110 in 2 mins. to MPFT standards.

Navy, scored hte mile and a half in 14:28 PU and SU exceeded their standards.

Only events that F* me up, is the distance running, and pull-ups.

Notice the AND between army and pt test... "never been in the army AND taken a PT Test"

Which you have not (he was right), so I dont see why you emberrassed yourself by posting your stats.

I've taken a PT test. to Army Standards, Administered by Army NCOs, even have several DA 705s to mark progress/keep track of how my PT is progressing. (witheld by four different NCOs, 3 Active Duty, 1 Guard. and five Veterans, two former Ranger's, a former Scout, and two former Infantrymen.)

attention to detail Quinn, it'll get you far.

Also, an understanding of how sentences are organized in written speech, and reading comprehension go along pretty well, too.

If you don't know how to use a word, it's best not to use it.

You just proved my point, idiot.

AND is a linking word. Meaning both cases must be true. IE, being in the army AND passing a pt test, but doesnt HAVE to pass a or take a weigh in.

If he would have given three variables in which they all didnt need to be true it would have been

"you havent been in the army, passed a pt test, or weigh in"

Notice the comma instead of the word AND since and is a linking word and means two of the 3 variables must be true.

Read your own sources.
