I joined the Army National Guard in 1994 and they would not let me leave for basic because I was 4lbs overweight. They gave me 2 weeks to fix it. I went back to the MEPS center and I had lost 6 lbs and they still would not let me leave because my measurments had not changed. I WAS PISSED. I had already gone to drill like 3 times because I had to wiat for 3 months to leave for basic because there was not any space. I was sworn in, drawing pay and already went to Fort Knox to qualify. I was even working on Cobras with my platoon at Rickenbacker in the meantime. I was an Aircraft Armamnet Systems Repairer. I got a general discharge in the mail 3 months later. Never got to leave over 4 fricken lbs.
