k thank you for the tables it helped, my buddy is worried cause hes over that weight but hes really trying to lose it by this summer so we can start this summer, and idk ive got a friend in basic right now and he said as long as he tries his hardest, and as long as they can tell that hes trying to get into shape theyd let him in

Hey is there a new weight standard for males I saw in the times where they made a new female standard. But nothing on Males.

I'm the "large" friend JDawg has been talking about lol. I'm fairly sure they just changed the weight table, as I remember nothing last week of 184 lbs for 69"...

If i'm within about 20 lbs of this mark and able to pass the preliminary PT test will I be allowed to continue basic?

Thanks in advance for any replies.

ahh danny your a funny kid
