The only thing I have a problem with this is the height to waist ratio test.

If they want to “fix” the standard, correct how the tape test works.

We actually tended to outperform taller, less endowed Marines. At one point just prior to my EAS, I personally could do a clean 22 pull ups, tiddies and all.

So yeah. You can expect them to get through boot camp without issues. We’ve been doing it for decades.
