|
|
|
Exceptions to policy for Active Army personnel (including RC personnel on AD) For Soldiers who are otherwise physically fit and have performed their duties in a satisfactory manner, the commander exercising General Court-martial Convening Authority or the first general officer in the Soldier’s normal chain of command (whichever is in the most direct line to the Soldier) may approve the following exceptions to policy:
|
(1)Individuals who have a temporary medical condition that precludes loss of weight. In such cases, the type of ongoing treatment will be documented; the extension will be for the minimum time necessary to correct the condition and achieve the required weight loss.
(2) Pregnant Soldiers (except those Soldiers who have medical conditions as listed in paragraph 3–2d) who are otherwise fully qualified for reenlistment, including those with approved waivers, but who exceed acceptable standards prescribed in this regulation, will be extended for the minimum period that will allow birth of the child, plus 6 months. A clearance from the doctor that the Soldier is medically fit to participate in a weight control program is required. Authority, which will be cited on DA Form 1695 (Oath of Extension of Enlistment), is AR 601–280, paragraph 3–3. On completion of the period of extension, the Soldier will be reevaluated under paragraph 3–2. Exceptions to policy allowing reenlistment/extension of enlistment are authorized only in cases where— (a) Medically documented conditions (para 3–2d) preclude attainment of required standards. (b) Disability separation is not appropriate. |
|
|
What is the purpose of the Army standard for measuring body fat?
|
The purpose of the body fat calculation is to ensure those with extra weight due to lean muscle mass are not unfairly required to leave the military. Lean body mass is critical to successfully perform military-unique jobs that require combat readiness.
|
|
|
What was the reason for revising the female Soldier screening weight table?
|
The screening weight tables were revised to ensure the Army was in compliance with the DODI 1308.3, DOD Physical Fitness and Body Fat Programs Procedures (5 Nov 02). This instruction directed that each Service’s body fat calculations include an assessment of abdominal fat and be no more stringent than those described by DOD. As a result, Army researchers determined that female Soldiers were indeed being held to a more stringent weight screen than necessary and the female screening weight table was justly revised. This actually reduced the number of women unnecessarily measured for body fat. Overall, this change increases the efficiency and fairness of body fat assessments for female Soldiers, while also monitoring for a known risk factor (increased abdominal girth) for chronic health problems.
|
|
|
Are deployed Soldiers exempt from meeting weight standards?
|
No. There is no exemption from weight standards while deployed, or upon return from deployment, except in the case of pregnancy and medical conditions as outlined in AR 600-9.
|
|
|
Is the Gulick tape authorized to use to measure body fat?
|
No. Acceptable tape measures are made of non-stretchable material. The Gulick tape has a spring loaded end that may get stretched over time, thereby making measurements inaccurate. The preferred method to ensure that the tape is applied correctly is to view the site that is being measured. The tape should make contact with the skin, conform to the body surface being measured, and not compress the underlying soft tissue
|
|
|
If a Soldier is taking a prescribed medication that may cause weight gain, is he/she exempt from the standards of AR 600-9?
|
No. The use of certain medications to treat an underlying medical disorder or the inability to perform aerobic events may contribute to weight gain, but neither is generally considered sufficient medical rationale to exempt a Soldier from AR 600-9.
|
|
|
Can a Soldier be retained beyond ETS IOT process for separation?

When was the Female Drill Sergeant Hat adopted?
|
In late 1971, Headquarters, Continental Army Command (CONARC) received approval from the Chief of Staff of the Army for permission to include women in the Drill Sergeant Program. In February 1972, six Women’s Army Corps (WAC) noncommissioned officers from Fort McClellan, Alabama, were enrolled in the Drill Sergeant Program, at Fort Jackson, South Carolina. Upon graduation, the women were authorized to wear the female drill sergeant hat. BG Mildred C. Bailey designed the female drill sergeant hat. The design was taken from the Australian bush hat. The first female drill sergeant hat was beige in color. The beige hat was replaced by a dark green female drill sergeant hat, style unchanged. The green hat was put into use in January 1983. After the green drill sergeant hat appeared, the beige hat was slowly phased out of the system. In 1984-85, a proposal was made for females to switch to the drill sergeant hat worn by male drill sergeants. Female drill sergeants at Training and Doctrine Command posts opposed this idea. In June 1985, General John A Wickham Jr., Army Chief of Staff, stated that female drill sergeants will continue to wear the original female drill sergeant hat.
