The standards aren't new, they've just been ignored for too long.
Retired Marine here. You are wrong. The fitness "standards" have not changed. The enforcement of the fitness "standards" have changed.
No more MEAL TEAM SIX or GRAVY SEALS!!!!
As a Texas, and a veteran, I find this hilarious!😂😂😂😂 Shame is an effective tool.
Why don't the police have a weight requirement
Military personnel must be battle-ready, period
They shouldnt be fat. I was fat when i joined thr army and i was ridiculed, demeaned and pushed until i took my own initiative to get in shape. Do better
My hubby served 30 years in Marine's, was aways in shape & Looked so Sharp in his Uniform SEMPER FI USMC💪
I was the Weight Manager Program Monitor for my AF Reserve Unit the 917th TFW. We had weigh ins every month and PT runs every six months. If you were over weight you were placed immediately on WMP. You had to lose weight every month to keep from being discharged and it blocked you from promotions. Yeah, it was serious back then. We were activated for Desert Storm in 1991 because our entire wing was considered 100% Mobility ready with WMP, Mobility Gear, Chemical, Biological and Nuclear Training Certified, Global Immunizations current, And Weapons Certified....just AR-15...we were a medical unit. Military used to be serious and looks like Pete Hegseth is also serious about Standards ! Its about tome.....
As a Texan I’m ashamed of this is what Texas has accepted as acceptable.😢
