Even though I've been out for a good while, my weight hasn't 'balloned' - I got out at 175#, I'm currently ~190, and the highest I ever got was 215.

I haven't had a BMI done in a while, but I've seen photos of young soldiers who should be kicked in the head because they make the uniform look like crap.

I remember being involved in some stuff at Natick, and they did hydrostatic testing for BMI, the doctors thought there was something wrong since all the participants (SF) were in the 8-12% range at the beginning. There wasn't a lot of change in total after - but there were 2 groups, one went up slightly, one went down...
