My husband has been with the same unit and company for almost 10 years now and he has been trying to get promoted since 2010 and his unit keeps flagging him due to his "love handles"or“shape.” His first sergeant put him on the 6 month weight management program and lost weight, but his"Shape"was the same. He was given another PT test/weight/tap and he still failed the tapping process. He can pass a PT test with flying colors and now because of his "Shape" he is getting kicked out. Something needs to be changed because we are losing good soldiers that know what they are doing. On top of that we hand out higher Ranks to soldiers that beat their wife, get DUI's, use their rank inappropriately, and the good ones are the ones being let go. If we don't change this NOW our Army will self destruct.
