Weight vs height for approximate BMI
Ought to be required for Commander-In-Chief
As yes, BMI, an incredibly generic measurement used more as a rough first step and also worth less when someone weighs more due to muscle mass, which I imagine soldiers have a fair amount of.
Look, the test is really bad about detecting weight issues so if you score high enough on the annual fitness test, you don’t have to take it. So that leaves all the soldiers with much more muscle out of the outliers. Meaning the soldiers who are overweight and don’t have high enough scores can waste the rest of the afternoon getting tape tested.
