I don't think you understand, for a long time I wanted to join the military. The trouble was my body comp is 5%, I weigh 104lbs (I'm 5 foot seven) without my baggy clothes and boots, and the only way I could ever make the legal requirement (109 lbs) would be if I stood on the scale wearing a trenchcoat with bricks in the pockets.

The army has already turned me down. The two pounds off would only reduce the chance of trickery if they changed their mind because I know their measurements often deviate as far as seven pounds from the truth.

If they don't want me willingly don't you think it would be lame for them to force me in?
