Hmmm I don't think the marines have any fattys, and they don't have a waist measurement. I'm not against a waist measurement type component, but this idiot idea that if you have an over 35" waist you are fat or physically incapable. BMI or something similar should be used, I have a buddy who is 5' 5" former football player, absolutely ripped maxes every component but gets docked on his waist measurement, because he is a short muscular dude. He actually has to do the neck and BMI measurement because he fails the AF height and waist measurement. It needs to be proportional to physical stature, I'm a tall skinny guy that couldn't get lose points on the waist measurement if I tried, but other guys that are as tall are "big boned" broad shouldered guys that are getting docked and we are still both physically fit.
