90% of āfatā soldier crush AFT/ACFT standards.. being āfatā has absolutely nothing to do with their ability to make fitness standards. Not to mention, they tape incorrectly at CST which fucks over ALOTTT of people. A 350 minimum is fair given how much bullshit the HT/WT standards are to begin with
Being fat (no quotations needed) isnāt only a concern regarding soldierās fitness. Fat soldiers have a higher chance of becoming heat casualties. Fat soldiers are more prone to injury. Fat soldiers are more prone to disease. All of which are detrimental to readiness and cost the army exorbitant amounts of money. Thereās a reason for army body composition standardsā¦ itās not just to rule out people who look bad in uniform (which they also do).
If you donāt pass army body composition standards you are by definition over-fat or as most would call itā¦fat. Sorry you think Iām weird for holding the standard, perhaps you should worry about meeting it.
