Teen loses 47 pounds to join the Army

Jaimie Rodriguez walked into an Arizona Army recruiting station, carrying 210 pounds and the lifelong dream of becoming a soldier.

In order to join the military, however, she’d need to get down to 168.


“She was already like ‘this is what I want to do,’ and I said ‘ok,’” Army Recruiter Sgt. 1st Class Vincent Sotello told local KGUN9.

So she did.

Her final weight after months of training and dieting was 163 — a loss of nearly 50 pounds. Now aged 19 and a private first class after finishing basic training, Rodriguez is fitter than ever.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
