<p>Yeah, sometimes the weight limits get waived for big guys…for instance my old roommate was a 6’5", 300-pound football player. Sure he wasn’t as fit as some guys, but then again not everyone else is either. If you wanted someone big to help you lift or push something heavy though, he was your man.</p>

<li> If there is a “weight standard” there should be no exceptions. I probably could see an exception if it was muscle weight vs. FAT weight…but that photo, IMHO, is an example of FAT weight.</li>
<li> I know many schools bend the rules for “football” I never understood it. School is the priority…in this case it is the Air Force. THAT is the priority and if he cannot meet THOSE requirements for fitness/health…he shouldn’t be allowed to take the place of someone who CAN meet those standards. Isn’t there a purpose to all of that? Or is it football is the exception? Like the kid at USMA I think who got drafted by the football professionals. That’s is NOT, IMHO, military service. I don’t care how he is used to recruit etc.</li>
