Navy eases body fat rules to retain sailors
The Navy expanded lenient body fat standards and will retest sailors who failed three or more times this spring. About 2,400 sailors who passed a preliminary test will stay in, reducing failures on records from three to one. Secretary Mabus says the move reflects realism and not lower standards as the service boosts cyber warfare readiness amid a tight recruiting climate.
