grrr... No. I am a musician and have won several audition positions in the Military including a Hellcat (USMA), Falconaire (USAFA), and Pershings Own (USAA Washington) but due to my broken neck (way back in high school, single car rollover) and medical history (aka "weight problem"... ain't a problem to me, I can run just fine) was not able to sign the contract. I have three generations ahead of me that have served, and I can't continue that tradition. I can run, gun, and follow orders, but alas, it is not to be.... So sad.
Actually funny story, one time I was able to talk a recruiter into working with me for a few months on the weight issue. Everything I did, I just kept gaining weight! I told him that muscle weighs more than fat. At my flabbiest I was like 280, then started working out and topped 320lbs. Now I'm not morbidly obese like some off these 400 pound apes you see walking around with McD's haning out their mouths. I am just a "thick" guy. Mose people think I weight around 230 or so wehn they look at me. Military wants me 250 and below for my height, 260 if they put me under a bodybuilder category. I told 'em I came out of my momma at 300lbs! lol, j/k.
