Is the Army getting fat??

<p>For some one of my height (5’9’') you would have to have a 39+ waste to be booted out of the Army. By that time you are really packing (this is w/ a 16 inch neck to clarify) on the pounds. (and for that matter would probably be failing your PT test). Do most people who get booted for failing the APFT or failing the body fat comp. test? I mean will they kick you out if you max all your events but have a 25% fat content? I know the Marines allow you to have a 22% fat comp instead of 18% if you have a first class pt score. So I imagine the army might have something similar.</p>
