I caannot help but wonder if this might be an MOS, age and current duty station issue.
As an earlier twenties young buck abn infman in the 82nd, keeping the weight on was more a problem then worring about being overweight. At the time I weighed in around 165-170 and 5 8', with a size 32 waist and VERY little fat. Between PT and going out in the field, I seem to remember being hungry all the time. Heck, one week in the field guarrented losing 5-7 pounds. More then a week and it would begin to fall even faster.
Now pick up a copy of Time/Newsweek/NY Times, etc and if there are any pics of servicemembers downrange in Iraq or Afghan. Fat or overweight can rarely be used to describe them. They all have that thin, wiry almost gaunt look about them. Combat thins a man (and woman!) down faster then meth.
Yeah, I'm guessing this is more of an MOS and age issue.
