Due to the nature of women body types in the armed forces, that BCA measurements do NOT include hip measurements.

This petition affects all women in the armed forces who are born with more curves than other women. Its a genetic trait no one can control or do anything about no matter the exercise. Yes. Women are built differently than men, most women are built differently within ourselves and there are most men that also have what, I call, man curves more endowed than some women. The BCA is not giving fair chances to women with different body shapes. The instruction states "....measured at widest part of hips...." when anatomically it is measuring circumference of buttocks. Somewhere some males agreed and authorized this as part of the instruction in the nature of sexism and objectification.
