Will I get sent home for being too skinny?

Here's the deal, I've always been a naturally thin guy. I will be shipping out to PLC Seniors 2nd Increment in a few weeks but I am currently a few lbs under weight for my height. Does anybody think they will try to send me home after the initial weigh in? By the way, did the weight standards change? I was at PLC Juniors last summer and was fine with the weight standards. Maybe I lost weight.... Either way I'm going to start stuffing myself full of food because I don't want to take any chances.

I'm not a Marine, or nutritionist, but water weighs roughly 8lbs a gallon. Maybe if you were very well hydrated and slammed a half gallon or so prior to the weigh in, you should be able to weigh a few lbs more. Good luck. :)

I have been successful with the "slamming a half gallon of water before a weigh-in" metod. However, I would like to avoid it if possible. Having to piss like a horse moments afterwards and being forced to hold it sucks big time. On a brighter note I do get to eat whatever I want with out any consequences! Ahh skinniness... a gift and a curse...

Transfuse some of my 45 year old blood for yours and you'll be all set making weight.

You will have to make the weight standard by the time you graduate.
