to add on to my previous post, after 2 death of increasing rank,
who would we be seeing next? colonel? BG?
and IMO, i don't think obese people should be made to run at
all. mild obese maybe, but those BMI over 30, if they run sure have
problems.
in school, those obese people with bmi over 30 are usually given
long term mc for PE, and that means that they probably have not ran
for quite some time, years even.
in ns, they go make them run 2.4km, etc, sure kill the hell out
of them, especially when they have not ran even half that distance,
for years.
and regarding medical screening, i don't think it is done
throughly enough. they will only note down any medical problem if
the person mention it. I'm sure for most of us, we wouldn't know
about any non-obvious medical condition ourselves.
so it's really the MOE's fault then eh .....
they procrastinate nipping health issues in the bud, by issuing
long term MCs to tubs of lard ... and then leaves the army to
handle the warm buckets of shit when shit happens ....
neways, the recruit's BMI's below 30 I believe .. and certainly,
the OCT shouldn't be unfit ......
perhaps what they should really do, is to give the screening
MO's a good spanking .... they were the ones who cleared these two
chaps in the first place ...
