Can we change the weight and BMI in order to enter into the military service? In order for those that are curvy, but fit

Created by S.F. on January 29, 2014

Hello

I have been trying to enter into the military services for several years. I was require to lose inches or weight in order to enlist in the military. My long term goal is to be in the military. In the last few years, I have lost 30 pounds. I am 5'8' and a curvy woman. I am physically fit. I run daily 3miles and work out 4 days a week. I will never reach the weight(155) for my height, which will be unrealistic. And on the inches level I am off only by 2 inch off the scale. That's due to my hips and Dereon (behind). I can not farther the process. In this era their are many women that are curvy that will like to enlist. Due to the curves it hinders many. The test should change to be at least 15 pounds as well as the inches. I have limited time before my age requirement expires.
