Revise the tape test method in the military body fat standards. Good service member's are being kicked out.

A study was done in 2008 by Dr. Jordan Moon did a study in 2008 on testing the human body for body fat. http://www.dynamic-med.com/content/7/1/7

Last month the Military Times paper did a similar study and got the same results as Dr. Moon.

Still nothing has changed. We continue to process out good military service members based on extremely inaccurate data. There are other ways to test for body fat that are more accurate.

It's not right to remove even one service member that actually has 14 % body fat but he tape tests to 18%. This has happened to thousands.

Please sign my petition asking the President to have a study done and implement a better way to test our service members protecting our great nation. They deserve it.
