I'm surprised they even enforce a weight standard these days seeing they allow high school dropouts and those with criminal records into the service now.

To assume a service member in a support role doesn't need to adhere to the same physical standards as a front line combat troop is really bad logic. All members of the service can be called on at any time to man the front so to speak. I was a fixed comm troop and I still had to maintain my physical health since I was still subject to no notice deployments. Understand there is a reason for weight and strength standards, it's nothing personal.

I don't know your situation, but if you're one of those people who is muscular for their frame, there is the option to go by your measured body fat over a simple scale measurement. Is this an option?

If the reality is you are indeed overweight, and you really want serve, the only option is to lose the weight. Sucks, but that is life. If you get the chance to serve, take it. My time in the military was a great lesson/experience in my life. I wouldn't be the same person without it.
