Bottom line...those "standards" are only enforced and upheld when it's convienant to the organization.

I agree. That is exactly what is happening, they let guys stick around the last 10 years that typically would have been let go, do to the war and needing more boots. Now, due to the budget, it is "conveniant" to the organization to let them go. I have a problem with all of that, I don't think leaders should look the other way just because a war is going on.

I have known people to get booted for being overweight by the Army's standard and have a three year record of having never failed a PT test. One, consistently scored 290 or above, but always "looked fat."

We could come up with examples of the 1% all day long, I am sure most of us here have known that soldier who looked fat but actually was in great shape and could smoke everyone around him. It's the other 99% that are the issue.
