My apologies if this post is repetitive or addressed elsewhere... please direct me accordingly. My son is a college junior (sophomore as far as his involvement in AFROTC) who worked hard to get down to his former high school wrestling weight of 191 lbs. in order to meet the weight criteria for someone 5'10". Last week he was informed that the BMI criteria has changed (my son says reduced down to 25 for everyone)... so his maximum weight criteria is now 174 lbs. and that's what he will have to get down to before his first day of field training. Admittedly, I'm new to all of this and everywhere I look the only weight charts/criteria I see for someone trying to get into AFROTC is 191 lbs. for someone 5'10". Can anyone verify or even help shed some light on this matter for me or direct me to whatever "new" BMI rules apply? I'm afraid having to get down to 174 lbs. for him is a deal-breaker (dream-breaker) for him and I'm struggling how to advise him.
