Are they going to be checking my ideal body weight? Because by the calculations given by the OP, I'm about 30 lbs over. I don't think I'm fat at all...I wear a size 6 and I'm pretty thin! I'm scared now!

Thanks for any help anybody can provide me with!

EDIT: Oops!! I missed the multiplying factor of 5 when I did the calculation. Apparently, I'm underweight by that calculation. Whew!

Not to tough, you do some flexibility stuff, they measure you and do a standard office physical. The army doesn't use Ideal Body Weight...use my formula at the top, that will get you pretty close....
