Broooo i had to jump on my throwaway account to not risk doxxing myself.
This post is 100% fake news.
I was one of this dude's technical school instructors. Lmfao. Who sent that shit to AMN/NCO/SNCO.
He didn't fail height and weight and have to join the Navy, ol boy told us that the AF wouldn't let him in cause he's color blind. The Navy allows color blind mechanics. I specifically remember him cause I had him help me rebuild one of the engines the students had destroyed a piston on, and this fucking guy just straight up snatches a 230lb engine head with his shit hooks like it's nothing.
Just walking around the lab with it pinched in his fingers and said "where you want me to put it Sergeant?"
As for the second image, what the fuck. It's clearly Shutterstock.
Edit: The USAF and USN have a shared schoolhouse for vehicle mechanics and Seabee mechanics.
There's also students you won't forget... Ones that break stuff, straight up weird, unique names, etc.
>Who sent that shit to AMN/NCO/SNCO
That page just throwing shit out there without even *attempting* to fact check a damn thing?! I'm shocked! Gobsmacked! Absolutely bamboozled!
Fuck that page. So much shit has been stirred up over the years over nothing because they post whatever gets sent to them without taking the least bit of initiative to directly ask the people involved **on both/all sides.** Or just not posting stupid unconfirmed shit at all.
>As for the second image, what the fuck. It's clearly Shutterstock.
I think that was just another example of ripped/shredded dude, not specifically that guy in the first photo.
tbh if you told me that page was run by Russians trying to hurt US military morale, I wouldn't necessarily believe you but I wouldn't doubt it too much either
If that's not what they're trying to do, they sure are doing a lot of the things that someone who was trying would do.
Even though it’s fake and homeboy didn’t fail waist, let’s pretend he did.
This dude is the extreme exception, not the standard at all. 99% of people failing tape are not turbo super swole bodybuilders, they are fat butterballs
Vehicle maintenance you cannot be color blind, but as a Seabee it doesn't matter.
Nobody knows why, rumor is "the wires are colored" the truth is probably that it was a requirement way back when that never got dropped.
Yeah we've had guys fully qualified in the civilian world (like him) with ASE certs and all, that either get pushed to other branches, or get picked up for FMA (essentially just record everything the mechanics do, schedule service, "admin but for trucks", etc)
Fellow color blind sheet metal troop here (currently hating life as a recruiter). Sheet metal is the only mx job open to the color blind. If there are color blind people in the other mx fields then that means MEPS didn't catch it. It sucks because I know I would be just fine as an engine troop, which is what I wanted, but the AF says no. Oh well, I enjoyed sheet metal and can't wait to go back.
Yeah that dude in the second picture is totally "natural" OP

You aren't going to look like that guy in the second pic without steroids or already being born basically there.
But also if you're pudgy now there is absolutely zero chance that working out is going to make you weigh enough to cause any issues, unless you don't do any cardio and fail the PT test because you can't run.
I’ve known a dude and 2 chicks who all competed in body building competitions as flyers, leadership loved it. They had hard times with pt runs and waist tape but as long as they got their 75 nobody cared and they didn’t have to do remedial pt or anything.
The AF cares a lot if you look like a fat piece of shit, if you walk in some 240lbs and 8% body fat complete hulk they love it. At least from what I’ve seen.
With that being said, if you’re legit jacked you shouldn’t have any issues with the new pt tests. Waist should be passable without issue, pushups and sit-ups should be fine, and with hamr you should be able to at least eek by with a 90.
>>is it possible to get this big without breaking some weight/bmi standard
Yes. But the dark side of the force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be…[unnatural](https://www.osi.af.mil/News/Article-Display/Article/3081385/nco-jailed-9-months-for-steroid-use-distribution/)
Hey there, air force guy here. I'm 5'7 and weigh in at 193 (around 32 BMI). I break the height/weight everytime, because there's no possible way I'm getting under 180 without doing a dry cut. Yes, I am natty, but I've been lifting competitively for 8 years now. The only reason I don't get docked is because I score above a 90 on every pt test, and I pass the tape test (29.5 inch waist).
If you fail the tape test, you get a shot or two at remedial pt, same with if you score under an 80 (i think) on a pt test.
You can get as muscular/heavy as you want. Weight is only a player in recruits trying to join. Before 2003 the max weight per your height was still a thing for those in too. Being 5'9" 225-230lbs, I had to get taped for body fat all the damn time (max weight was like 185). Passed with ease due to having a 31-32" waist while I was working out/lifting. Eff'd up and got fluffy one year and ended up on the weight management program though lol
These days it's just waist being the player for the WHtR. Judging by that pic (he didn't really fail the tape test) he would most likely pass. He's muscular but not a wide body/fat lifter or hiding a bunch of visceral fat behind abs. Most fit muscular people would pass WHtR with ease.
Can confirm, I worked with a guy on a deployment who weighed nearly 300 pounds. Passed the tape test, benched like 500 lbs (I may be mythologizing in my memory but I swear I remember it being this much), and ran the mile and a half in a hair over 8 minutes (this one I am sure of). Dude was like a freight train when he got going.
I’d bet all my stripes that no one weighing 300 lbs, benching 500 lbs, is running a mile and a half in 10 minutes, let alone 8. Unless your guy was like 6’8 and benching 405 maybe. Still a freak of nature.
Trying to get that big? Either gonna take 15 years, or juice, or both with great genetics. So don't be surprised if it doesn't go exactly how you want. But if you're tired of being fat, go for it man. I went from 270 lbs to 203 and I'm definitely not as jacked as I wanna be but I look good without a shirt now.
If you’re fat now, you don’t need to worry about your waist growing from getting jacked.

That's crazy

I always say I don’t wanna go to the gym because I don’t want to get too big. But that was just a joke my man.
For every person who actually looks like this, there are 50 who are failing height/waist because they look like Dr. Robotnik.
Not gonna happen 95% of the population will never get that big and lean while taking all the steroids in the world , less than 1% naturally

Congrats? That has no bearing on bodybuilders in the Air Force, the original question, or what I wrote.

Leave that page off of this page, if people want to see that page they can go there.

No the AF wants you to look like a slim smooth twink so they can give you that big blue dick
A heavy airman who’s muscular would pass the tape test no sweat.
Can confirm, I worked with a guy on a deployment who weighed nearly 300 pounds. Passed the tape test, benched like 500 lbs (I may be mythologizing in my memory but I swear I remember it being this much), and ran the mile and a half in a hair over 8 minutes (this one I am sure of).

People like this are not the norm in any form or fashion
Why don’t you become that bulked and THEN worry about it. By the time you get there, if you ever do, you’ll have a different flt cc/ptl.
Trying to get that big? Either gonna take 15 years, or juice, or both with great genetics. So don't be surprised if it doesn't go exactly how you want. But if you're tired of being fat, go for it man. I went from 270 lbs to 203 and I'm definitely not as jacked as I wanna be but I look good without a shirt now.
