The Army “fat camp” aka future soldier prep course is extremely successful. They like to boast that they have a 90-95% success rate. Workout regiments, food consumption, sleep cycle etc are all heavily controlled.

2023年5月20日 · Tbh I saw plenty of heavier kids in basic who had the heart, they were just set up for failure by our society's current relationship with food. I'm glad the Army is taking a step toward navigating the reality we're stuck with. My biggest objection is that once you're through fat camp you're back to square one depending on what post you land.

2022年8月14日 · So my recruiter told me I can go to the Army Fat Farm. I haven't enlisted yet and I'm currently 206 at 5'8. I've lost like 50ish pounds on my own but struggle to lose this last bit. I'm like 28% I believe, 40 at the waist and 14.5 at the neck. Should I try to lose the weight on my own or would the Fat Camp be good for preparing me for BCT?

I passed the FSPC program(fat camp as you all would probably know it) Celebration Thread! It’s obviously a pilot program so it’s unorganized but the concept behind the H2F approach is very good although it does focus more one the nutrition and physical fitness side of it still is a very good learning experience and it gives you an idea on ...

Brother, I mean this respectfully - 5'8" 400 pounds is, IMO, still way too big to be considering "fat camp" or the military in general. You need a radical lifestyle change. If you rapidly lose weight to get to the Army and hit ~380 pounds, you're, at that …

2023年12月27日 · The camp is about fitness, but if you can't pass weight standards despite being good at exercise the Army will still make you go and lose weight. Stupid I know. Unless you hit a 540 on your PT teats consistently you will be expected to maintain body weight.

Fat camp is designed for losing like +/- 10 pounds not 65. If you dont have 1 to 2 months you need to postpone your ship date. Heres why: basic training is an environment where there are no protections and you have no rights.

2022年12月16日 · If you exceed that weight you get taped. There is a magic ratio between your waist and neck that is allowed. If you aren't within this golden parameter you just failed tape and get flagged for being "fat". The Army had fat camp for recruits who couldn't meet physical training requirements during basic or recruits who got injured but could recover.

2013年12月24日 · Somewhat out of shape S.I.T. here with a few questions about the Army's Fitness Training Unit. My particular stake in the FTU is that I am being sent there after Christmas Exodus to improve my run time after failing my EOC BCT APFT at Ft. Jackson before Christmas Exodus by a meager 35 seconds due to an upper respiratory infection I caught from ...

4th. If you are in DEP and go over on your BF% do you completely lose your contract, can you go to fat camp and keep your reserved job? 5th. How do the "fat camp" contracts work, are you able to reserve a job for those contracts or is it needs of the Army? For reference, I lost 80lbs to join but I am (28yr) at 28% BF currently.
