Surely they should want muscular weight and not just "weight" ? It seems stupid to deny someone based on their body weight insted of athletic performance.

Body weight is an odd requirement, but that only means that there's a certain reason why the air force looks for it. I'd presume it's layered with other requirements such as physical tests.

Yeah, they go by BMI, which is ****ing stupid. I'm not a cocky asshole, but I know that I'm pretty damned fit.

Yeah, I don't know really. I'll make the weight requirement though. It'll be soon and I'll let you guys all know.

Why would you want to join the military and kill people?

I won't go too deep into the specifics of my life, but it's a choice that I see bringing optimal happiness to my life. Considering that right now I'm vacationing at my grandparents' house to gain weight because with my shitty little waiter job, living week to week worrying about rent, motorcycle repairs, food, and all of the stress that comes with it, I can't even maintain the necessary weight to join the armed forces. lol
Also, I can't afford college and financial aid is a big fat 'NO'.

Not to say that a better life is the only reason for joining the military, because it isn't. I've wanted to join the USAF and give back to my community since I was in middle school. I can say that a better life and the possibility of a career, not a 'job', are pretty big pull factors too though.

My mother actually considered joining the military since they would pay for college, and so they called to ask her a few questions. Not once did they bother to ask how much she could weightlift (100 lbs), they only cared that she weighed less than 100 lbs at the time. So, yeah, they only care about your actual bodyweight, nothing to do with fitness or muscles.

Anyhow, like everyone else here, I think perhaps a doctor's visit might be in order for that metabolism thing, but hey, you might be perfectly fine too. Metabolism is weird, and I'm sorry you got denied entry to the military again.

Lel. Exactly. Tell her you'll have the insurance benefits doe. You guys can get married and be happy. It's only a little bit in basic, then you have tech school. You should do it! (if you want to)

Ha! That's okay. I'm up 134lbs. I need 4 more pounds. I'm packing them on, too. Vacationing at my grandparents' is doing so good for me.

but also remember, fat/water/gas weight which come from diet burn stupidly fast, and yeah when my wife cut carbs she lost 20lbs in a week, almost all of it water and gas weight that carbs build up as your body refuses to burn the OTHER energy sources ( so its counter intuitive) honestly to maintain your weight get it up as you can, and convert them to muscle weight... you wont even need to do a ton to see a massive burst in weight gain- I too have a rabid metabolism, and cant gain weight for anything, but had to do weight training for my shoulders and back, and just spending time toning those key areas for a few weeks? I gained almost 10lbs I still haven't lost, even after periods of strife or illness. Muscle weighs more, harder to loose, and gaining weight alone for the service wont help if you burn it all off without gaining muscle come physical time , so really consider that, up your calories intake too by throwing in cliff builder bars as snacks or something, but avoid loading up on too many carbs ( Id never say cut them as you can obviously metabolite them- but dont let your body get use to depending on them )

Better question, what Man wouldn't?

To end the lives of living creatures is behind only fertilizing women and eating on the list of the Male's prime-directive. It's why Evolution-Jesus put us on this World.

Exactly. That's why I do high weight low rep compound excercises. I probably do squats and deadlifts the very most. I do a lot of rows and flys too though. lol
