Military MEPS.

i just passed my asvab on tuesday and may be going ot the meps in some time,

but i was wondering can you get disqualified for having your body fat to low.


i know that if you have it over %28 you have to loose some but what is you have it super low like under %2

IDK how much i have but i know it can't be over 5 or %10 or maybe i have it under %5

Help please

its not your body fat being too low that D/Q's you... its your Height-To-Weight ratio... which is one way that you can (inaccurately) calculate your BMI...

if this is what would D/Q you, its cuz they afraid you are underweight, malnourished, and weak. But it would have to be WWAAAAYYYYY to low to get D/Q'd.
and once you go though Basic you'll definitely put on some weight. Mainly i wouldn't worry about it being to low, if you think its too low just talk to your recruiter. they should be able to weigh you and tell you if its too low; start walking alot and eating carbs.

I'm pretty sure 2% would have you in the hospital. Your organs need more than that to function.

Your body fat percentage should be around 20.

thats not "that" bad, i was about 6'2" and only like 165... when i went through MEPS
and i wasn't considered "underweight"

i'm like 6'3" 220lbs now... very manly.
