Yeah, that's OLD Navy. You get kicked out for not being in shape in the new navy.
unless that new navy is only a few months old, it has its share of fatties as well. i lived on a sub base for a while, and it was pretty sad when i would have to wonder if some of the sailors would actually fit through the sub hatches or not...

One boat i was on the COB's wife got stuck in the control room hatch.

LOL
that has got to be kind of humiliating. even worse when it is a uniformed serviceman/woman. kind of defeats the purpose of our supposedly exceptional training and discipline.

A control room hatch is 33 inches in diameter.
I have never seen a US servicemember get stuck in one.
Who I did see get stuck was a civilian, a servicemember's wife.
Our ventilation line-up at the time was 'surface ventilate' which meant that the boat was exhausting through that hatch. When she got herself wedged in there, it sealed and the boat began pressurizing.
I was in the control room, and one of the men who then pushed and lifted her up out of the hatch.

wow. that sounds like quite the incident. i worked mostly with corpsmen when i was in the corps, and for the most part, they were in really good shape; they did the humps and everything right alongside us.
glad i never had to rescue a chubby civilian from a ship or a sub.

Starting in 2006 the Navy changed it's policy to if you fail 3 Body Fat compositions or PRT failures (done twice a year), you're separated from the Navy. The Airforce are still allowing their servicemen to be fat and ready!
Well as far as i have been in since 1989 you could never wear dungarees off base in public. The digis are replacing the dungarees. But the new tan uniform can be worn outside in public. There is nothing to complain or ***** about you still have the same regulations just different style of uniforms. Quit whining suck it up and look at the real problem at hand. Young sailors frogetting what the Navy is all about and forgetting about MILITARY BEARING. If you are gonna whin e and complain about a change of uniform and wonder if you can wear it out in town, why would i want you fighting beside me in the desert and protecting our clothing. Do you think the enemy wil care what you are wearing. This is not a fashion show and we still look great in our dress uniform.
