Army won’t change weight tables after body composition study

According to Sergeant Major of the Army Michael Grinston, the study found that the service’s current methods for weight screening and measuring body fat are “pretty accurate.”

“The data shows that the height and weight tables are correct,” he explained.

But the service has identified areas where policy tweaks could help improve the accuracy of the tape test, which habitually underestimates the body fat of most troops

This surprise anyone?
