I've read the thread, but I don't think I've seen this question asked or answered:
What are health/fitness requirements for med students joining?
I'm about 15 pounds over the weight chart max. for new enlistees, and possibly slightly over the body fat requirement.
So, what's the deal? Do I need to whip myself into shape before seeing a recruiter?
Call the recruiter now!!! There is a lot of paperwork you can start while you are loosing the 15lbs. You can be upfront about the issue with the recruiter and just tell them you want to get the ball rolling, but need to loose a little weight before you schedule your MEPS physical. Willingness to loose weight/diet to get into the program shows a level of motivation that most recruiters will appreciate.
