I scored 300 or better on the APFT for 20 out of the 25 years I served.
Every single time, I also had to lose weight to avoid the tape test.
The Army tape test is highly subjective and is not reflective of the physical fitness of the individual.
At the same time, I see a lot of people in uniform, especially females, who are just obese. I guess their CoC lacks the intestinal fortitude to confront them and take the required action.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." - President Theodore Roosevelt, 1910
