Will I get sent home for being too skinny?

I'm quite sure that a pound of fat weighs exactly the same as a pound of muscle.

Girl eats either, that's gross, she has problems.
I can eat a whole one of those small pizzas. My weights good though, just under 110 (5"6). I went off both control and got down to 102 eating whatever I wanted but went back on a week ago so my weight should be going back up sometime.
Looks better too!
depends on where it is located.......
Try to put on some meaningful weight instead of sloppy weight. I was a decent catcher in high school but my coach said I needed to build my frame to get the attention of scouts. The summer before my senior year I ate a tremendous amount of protein - eggs, tuna, sandwiches, more eggs, oatmeal, rice, pasta, tofu, and vegetables. I also supplemented my work-outs with protein shakes and drank one in the morning and evening, and also ate before I went to bed. I ended up adding about 25-30 lbs of muscle in a little over 3 months. Not saying you need to go crazy, but I read that if you're trying to increase your size, you should eat 1 gram of protein for every pound you weigh. A can of tuna or an egg is about 10 grams that get's processed to put it into perspective.
This was like almost 5-6 years ago, I have since stopped all that and decreased back to my normal weight and size. For us skinny guys, we have to keep up the eating. But just don't crazy on the fast food, or your next issue will be the PRT.

You all need to eat more Caines and Dr. Pepper. That's how I got ready for OCS and more importantly flight training.
If you plan on using creatine, do it and stop it before you get to pcola. Not on the approved meds/supplements list for aviation.

Hey lay off! Chicks dig the thin man...LOL!
It is tough trying to eat 3-4 meals a day. I'm so busy all the time, either at work or at home with the pregnant wife and baby. Thats probably why I lost weight in the first place. Now that I think about it somedays I found myself only eating once a day because that's all I had time for.
Anyways, thanks for all the advice guys. I went out and got some of that protien mix crap and have eased up a bit on my workouts. I hope it works. I only have 23 days before I ship...
They are scrutinizing every detail about the health of candidates at OCS right. They can well afford to do so right now. Overweight folks are being sent home even will solid PFT's and I don't think they will make an exception if you're underweight. I wouldn't count on them accepting a reason that you are naturally skinny. Add a supplemental shake to your diet with creatin to help you gain weight with your exercise. I use Muscle Milk since it has fat and carbs in it to and doesn't taste like a butthole. Add it to skim or 1 or 2%. And start now! Oh, and the BUMED doctor in Pcola was pretty happy that I use creatin...in moderation folks!
He can be as happy as he wants, but the flight doc will not be.
