I was just recently denied my GCM because I was flagged twice for one month each time for being overweight. Do you believe one should be disqualified for a GCM based on non disciplinary flags? I have not read the reg and have not excuses for failing to night body weight standards those two times, but do not believe it should negate 3 years of keeping straight and narrow. Please let me know your thoughts.

Awarded for Exemplary behavior, efficiency, and fidelity in active Federal Military service.
If you're overweight, is that exemplary service? Are you efficient? Is your weight issue a behavioral issue?
You are supposed to be strack, not slack.
You have to maintain your standards to be awarded a GCM, you stated that you haven't, which means you answered your own question.

I'm sure it wasn't what you wanted to hear and just between you, me and the flag pole, I too really had to work at the weight issue and it cost me a promotion to Sp4. I could run 10 miles in Korea but my belly fat was a fight.

I'll share a little bit of advice passed on to me many years ago. Read the regs. Then ask questions when you don't understand or need further clarification. AR 600-8-22 is where you need to start.

Personally, i look at total soldier concept when recommending denial of gcm. If the slip was enough for me to want to type the memo for the commander id do it without hesitation. I wouldnt stop it for that being the sole reason of course unless the flag was active at the time a gcm was given, in which case a flag is a suspence of favorable action meaning you cant be given an award
