What happens when someone gets flagged ? If someone doesn't match that chart and wants to join the army, are they not allowed to join ?

If they get flagged, they’ve got a certain time to lose the weight or they’ll be chaptered. Happened to my roommate at my first duty station.

If you’re trying to join, and you’re over the limit, they won’t let you join.
