Guess I'm an "obese" bodybuilder at 5'9" and 207. When I was USAF enlisted 25 yrs ago I received two weight waivers based on body fat vs BMI Chart. No luck here eh? I was a USAF firefighter/CFR before transitioning to flying. Would you rather have the buff gym rat with 35 pounds of gear and an air pack pulling you out of a burning BUFF And dragging you outside the death zone or the scrawny guy that comes in under the BMI index as normal? The BMI index is inaccurate for athletes and those with a higher percentage of muscle.
