...(Medical lab specialist)? I've enlisted in the army 4 months ago to be a 68k, medical lab specialist. I'm over the weight standard and the body fat standard at 35% . I weigh 154 and my height is 5'1.5 exactly. I really dont look fat. I used to run track in high school. It's just all in my thighs and my butt. My waist is 29 inches and my hips at 40 inches. Also in short so that really doesn't help me at all. The only reason that I got through MEPs the 1st time was because I was able to take the arms test. I really wasnt that bad though. My ship date is in 3 weeks.
SO ..... Now my question is..... Since i'm over the weight and body fat standard will they make me got to "fat camp" at reception even if i pass my run and my push ups and sit up with flying colors? I can do 36 push ups and 46 sit ups in one minute. I just have a little trouble with my run. 11 min mile is the fastest i've ran it.
Also if i do go to "fat camp" will it interfear with me going to AIT as 68k. Its a very hard mos to get into and i'll think ill cry if i wont be able to go because I was too fat!
Does anyone know that answer to this???!!! PLEASE AND THANK YOU.
