Good day Marines,
I have a question pertaining to Weight and though searching I still could not find a good answer. I am 6' 2" and weigh 230 lbs. Over the past 5 1/2 months I have been hitting the Gym 5 days a week every week. I know for a fact I have put on muscle because I can see it, I used to weigh 285 lbs. Now my question is: if I can pass the IST at my current weight would I still need to get down to 227 lbs in order to ship? I found this (http://usmilitary.about.com/od/marinejoin/l/blintweightmale.htm) but I am not sure if it is updated let alone a reliable source. Regardless I would feel much better shipping at 200 lbs instead of 227, less is more.
Any input would be greatly appreciated, have a nice day Marines.
