Landwhales everywhere…leave no room to spare

I know someone (a man) who was almost rejected by the US Army because his height/weight was on the wrong side of the chart.

The military uses (or used) a graduated series of tests to determine body fat percentages. The first step was a simplistic neck vs waist chart, followed by a BMI calculation, then calipers, and finally water immersion. The first two rely on charts and averages, something which always fails at the extremes. Your body building acquaintance is one of those extremes naturally.

I served in the Navy and then the National Guard. One my last ship, we had a chief who was painfully thin, the kind of guy who had to jump around in the shower to get wet. When they ran his neck vs. waist measurements every year he was always “overweight” according to the charts, charts which didn’t account for extremes. The corpsmen would next run his BMI, which had him underweight, and finally use calipers to determine he had less fat than a piece of beef jerky. With 2 out of three tests good, he was cleared for another year.

Conversely, another shipmate of mine had a bull neck and was shaped like Caspar the Friendly Ghost. His neck vs. waist measurements had him supposedly within spec while he manifestly overweight. The corpsmen ran his BMI, got a result which matched the eyeball test, and he got put on the “fat boy” program.

Much like your weightlifting acquaintance, there was a group of soldiers in my NG artillery battery who would “fail” the neck vs. waist test every year. They were shell “jerkers” and regularly worked out to more easily handle the 155mm howitzer ammo. Every year, they’d “fail” the initial body fat test only to pass the one of the more accurate versions.

The military has to process a huge number of people in a short period of time, so the initial tests they employ can quickly sort a large percentage of people. The ones who fall outside of the norms then get shunted to other more accurate and more time consuming tests.

It’s akin to cafeteria cooking. You need to produce food which is palatable for the largest number of people possible. Accordingly, you avoid all but the most common ingredients and keep seasoning at a bland level.

Do not date. Do not impregnate. Do not co-habitate. Above all, do not marry. Reclaim and never again surrender your personal sovereignty.

Thanks for the link! I checked it out and immediately came across my new favorite euphemism for obese people: crisco blimp.

On a side note, I will say that the food industry has really let North American society down. These companies spend millions and know just how much salt, sugar, fat, etc to put in their recipes so your brain reaches the “bliss point” and you come back for more until you are addicted. We have evolved to crave these foods which are essential but have traditionally been scarce until now. Many people just don’t stand a chance when up against all the research that’s been done specifically to get them addicted and maximize profits. The fat shamers aren’t the problem. The problem is these food manufacturers that operate like drug dealers. Oreos are more addictive than CRACK. That’s not hyperbole either. Sugar addicts need to go after the food industry if they really want to end obesity, child obesity, etc. Good luck with that.

That’s the whole point of corporations, period. Companies know that people are generally stupid and weak. All you have to do is present the public an idea or thing that they like, and they reel them in. They don’t care about the benefits of society; they just want the money. It’s just amazing to see that we have dangerously increasing levels of obesity AND starvation around the world.

I don’t even care at this point anymore. Let them leech off the weak-minded and gullible.

Great thread that never gets old. Worth a bounce!

In July of 2018, this honey pot forum was sold out to an unidentified NPC sock puppet and troll organization. Most independent thinkers and writers migrated to other MGTOW forums as a result of the never-ending infighting and deliberate trouble starting caused by members who were given "carte blanche" by the admin to do whatever they want. Before my departure, I only left a few thousand cat pics here to comfort and ridicule the feminist owners who now run this place. Their background agenda is to make MGTOW look like a club of losers the public eye. And during the course of 2019, they actually managed to destroy almost all other MGTOW venues as well. Here is the truth about "theindependentman.org" aka "TIM" which was created as an extended workbench to further divide the community. When you register, they install a spyware Zombie cookie on your browser that does all kinds of things the user does not know of: http://www.filedropper.com/essay-on-the-removal-of-malware-cookies-used-by-tim
