The Marine Corps is looking for volunteers to take multiple scans as it re-evaluates its body composition standards.
The Corps hopes to get between 600 and 800 Marines to volunteer for body scans and X-rays that would take a detailed look at their body to implement more scientific standards, Military.com first reported.
It is possible the study could lead to a new body composition standard in the Marine Corps.
