Fat people can still pilot drones and shoot guns!

The grunt side won't have problems keeping fit. They considered me fat, 225lb, even though I was a beast. Now for the other part of the military, yeah, I can see it. Seen guys/girls who couldn't even run a block. Units where there is no women, tends to have higher standards of training. They advise you to take outside activities, marathon runs, mountain climbing, martial arts and such. Like the standard pt test, it's 190 or 230 for some units, but they never go by it. You have to be at least 250, cause the unit doesn't do minimum.
