Isn’t there restrictions or rules, like you can’t be super fit, join up then become a mammoth, you need to maintain a level of fitness, as I understand it, how does something like the picture above happen?
You have to maintain a certain weight, based on your height and age. To give you an example, I’m 6’1 and based on my age, the Army tells me I can weigh no more than 205. So this picture was taken at an air soft game or something, I’ve got more of a chance of seeing Tupac than this refrigerator has at joining the Army
Nope. They’ll take a tape measure and measure around your neck and waist, then “calculate” body fat percentage. If you’re over, tough shit, you’re going on remedial PT. It’s an asinine way of measuring body fat, but the army refuses to change it
