"We do get people who come in the office that are overweight by Army
standards," La Pointe told ABC News. "And then what we do is try to work
out a program through nutrition and exercise."


The standards vary by service. The Army allows 26 percent body fat for
men, and more for women. When recruits are asked their weight, "everybody
lies," La Pointe said.


Is that why you're posting to usenet and not in uniform?


No...but is likely why you are here.

Very likely.
