nvm... no longer confusedI got a letter saying "You have until April 15, 2010 to conform to the body fat standards outlined in Table 2-1 and 2-2 AR 40-501. Failure to meet the standards... will result in disqualification..." So I think if you are in danger they let you know.
Minimum weight is a BMI of 19. Max is ~27 BMI. (both for males atleast)
You want to take this seriously. If you are underweight on R-Day either they can send you home for failing the physical or they will keep you and put you on a high calorie diet and watch you carefully. This will be the call of the examining physician.What a scary thought...I have a lot of trouble gaining weight (been 128 lbs for much of the past year). Do you or anyone else have like a chart for minimum weight requirements for the different heights?
I bench 3x a week so hopefully that will help :\

Well, benching is definitely not the thing you should be doing if you want to gain weight. Do you really think you chest is going to gain more than 5 lbs of muscle? You should A. Eat, eat, and eat some more. and B. Work on the large muscle groups. Butt-Thighs (squats, weighted lunges etc.), Back (Rows, weighted pull ups). Lifting regularly along with a high calorie-protein diet should easily put you over the minimums).
This thread is also a decade old...Do you have a link to the height weight standards for female cadets?
