if you're bigger than that then you get a "special made to order" and there is a Nato Stock Number for that.
Your comment on your Flight Sgt is interesting and I believe highlights a difference between our two "armies" Fitness here is much more Aerobic based rather than being about bulking up, was your Flight Sgt much of a runner??
While hijacking the thread a bit our fitness test standards can be found at http://www.army.mod.uk/linkedfiles/s.../matt2_web.pdf if you are curious!!
Amazingly he was. He may not have had the fastest run time, but he was well within the requirements for fitness. I am not at all saying that the American Military emphasizes 'bulking up." He just happened to be a "gym rat." That was his thing. And, as a result, his body fat percentage was very low. I guess my point was he had a pretty big waist but was in great shape no matter how you look at it.
