Taping/body mass letter?

[THmom]

DS is tall and thin. Not DQd by DoDMERB for weight, although under. (Sent letter from doc saying he’s healthy, has no underlying issues.) A letter was posted on USMA portal this week saying he needed to get taped. Is this normal to not have a DQ and need to be taped? If he comes under the accepted BMI, what happens? Thanks everyone!

If USMA asks you deliver.

DS has to do the same and he’s squarely within standards. It literally takes 5 mins if just measurements.

And no DQ for him either

Facts =

1. DoDMERB does NOT get involved in Service established BMI standards. DoDMERB only pursues and/or DQs, where there “is/may be” medically associated issues with an excessive/deficient BMI.

2. Services deal with BMI, where there are no medically associated rationale administratively, not with medical personnel. This IS a Service prerogative based on their authorities over appearance, fitness, etc.
