[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 712403, member: 1963"] Jabber, I mean Physical Conditioning Platoons, shouldn't have used the letters, LOL. I know husband wasn't tested and he was on delayed enlistment. He was made to GAIN 15lbs, and then delayed further because he broke his ankle 5 days before his report date. There was already a big problem with overweight in the services when husband enlisted and I'd assume it's even worse now. In husband's day, they had special diet and exercise platoons that were referred to as "Fat Boy Platoons". husband's problem was that he ate an astounding amount for a small man, but was so active that he burned it all off.
