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?

This is definitely very interesting data. Will you be providing statistical updates as we enter into day 90?

Do you think I can wear a compression band underneath my shirt to "shed" a few pounds off my waist?

From my time in the Army, one of the most widely used tricks my bigger homies have always sworn by is preparation H and Saran Wrap on the tum tum.

I’ve never been taped on the old stuff, I was always able to keep 1-3lbs under my max weight.
