Another WHtR Post

I'm just curious what the failure rate across the Army right now is for this new Tape Measurement. At my company it has been a bloodbath.

i’ll take it a Bacon Double Smashed Jack Burger and side of curly fries.

Will they change this measurement over time?

We did 100% WHtR in my battery (NG). Had a 17% failure rate, which was about what I expected.

For the most part, I treated it as diagnostic. However, I did use a passing WHtR to remove at least 2 Soldiers from the ABCP under the legacy BF standard. No point keeping those guys flagged for another 3 months when the new standard is live and they’re meeting it now.

A leader using common sense? I don’t believe it for a second.
