The U.S. Military's Weighty Challenge: 'Skinny-Fat' Recruits
Story by Ben Kesling •
1d
Twice a year a year, all members of the U.S. armed forces must pass a physical fitness test. When tape measures meet bellies, though, things can get complicated.
Can fit people have large waists? Are skinny people automatically in shape? Is it OK to suck in the gut?
These matters have been prompting considerable navel-gazing in the nation’s military, along with such questions as—where should the tape measure even go, and is it the right tool for modern days?

The real problem is getting enough recruits - period! Beggars can't afford to be choosy!
