I tell you what happened ....
the obese recruit was just pathologically unfit ....
the pilot chap, according to shrekho, died of dehydration ?
...
but I suspect the fellow probably knew about some underlying
condition about his body but decided to hide it from the MOs during
screening ... for the sake of his "dream" ...
i've seen it before ... silly farktards with allergies to grass
and shrubs ... who breaks out in hives everytime they are outfield
... but declined to sound out because he wanted to be an officer
... he told me ... that after his BMT, he wanted to see where he'd
be posted to ... of he sees "OCS", he'd endure everything ... of he
sees anything else, he'd promptly get a downgrade .....
he got posted to sispec, got his downgrade soon after, and
became a mechanic sgt, which was when I met the fellow ...
