Today's AFT posted an article about Airmen taking extreme measures to lose inches around thier waist because of this new test. WHAT? What have they been doing over the past 5 years? What changed in the last few months that makes people to have to suddenly lose weight? According to the new charts, females actually can have a bigger waist under the new standards from 35" to 35.5"...males, we lost an inch...down to 39" from 40". Still, one inch creates a ton of rapid weight loss schemes? Starvation, Liposuction, Prep H treatments with wraps? Why now? The article makes you think this program just started last month, but this test has been around for 5 years! Here are some things I noted from the article: Football players who are fit, but wouldn't score perfect on the test: Okay, most Airmen who are big, aren't football players, they are fat. Height to waist ratios: Sounds good for the tall guy, but that short guy ain't buying it! Airmen testing Airmen: I doubt that will ever come back now. Civilian testers: I see them at WAPS time too. All this rapid weight loss talk is making me realize that there must have been more cheating going on than I ever realized...this AFT article just confirmed it.
