This branch takes the cake as the US military’s fattest
By: J.D. Simkins  

Sailors need remedial physical training.

That could be one just one of many conclusions drawn by a recent Department of Defense study that found the Navy earned the dubious honor of surpassing all other branches in its rate of obese personnel.

The overall rate of fat service members is also up from recent years, with the percentage of personnel weighing in at obese standards climbing to over 17 percent, according to a Health of the DoD Force study.

That number spiked to over a quarter of service members over the age of 35.

We had a beachball Chief onboard. He was summarily discharged.
The test was simple. Secure for GQ. Asked him to traverse the ship in GQ.
He didn't make it through the first hatch. He was stuck.
As was everyone behind him. That counts as DEAD/Fail.
You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.
