Thanks, Chief. I'm not active anymore, but as a federal employee, much of this applies.

Great site, Jim. I think I have to get a copy of "They Had To Go Out" just cause it looks like an interesting read. We have to remember our roots after all.

CGBlog.org :: An Unofficial Coast Guard Blog : New Weight Standards are here

I don't know if BMI is the best way to measure weight standards. Alot of bodybuilders might object, but I'm sure there will be waivers. There is always a "fudge" factor and it looks like the Coast Guard is at least doing that. When I was into bodybuilding and not Crossfit, my BMI said I was overweight when I really just packed on muscle. A good link for calculating BMI as well as caloric needs, while not exact, is : http://www.dietitian.com/calcbody.php. It also explains the errant report the BMI can give.
