Thanks but I meant what number is passing I get how to calculate it. Someone earlier said they were 5'10 and needed gone 216 which is a bmi of 31. Is it correct that a BMI of 31 is passing?
- 9,736
- 1,174

216 and 5'10" is a hefty individual. I'm in good shape, not ripped out by any means and I'm 5'9" 170#.
A BMI of 31 is obese depending on what source you look at...
Looking at this thread in glad I decided against taking my father's friend's offer and moving to NY to start testing out there.

I'm 6'3 200 lbs with a muscular build and was medically cleared if that means anything I'm guessing the weight max would be 220 to 225 this is a guess
Its hard to calculate, cause they take everything into consideration. You could be considered overweight by the BMI if you have a muscular build, that's why the doctor takes a look and has final say.
If your weight is over, you'll know it, the weight requirements aren't crazy, they're pretty normal.

Totally but what I'm saying is the person posted they were 230 something at 5'10 and were given 30 days to get to 216 which is a BMI of 31 so I'm guessing the weight requirement must be around that. I was looking for confirmation from someone who has been medically cleared that's bmi is around that. My BMI is around 30 but I'm not fat by any means
Dude youll be fine just go through the medical and if they tell you to lose a few pounds, get it done. Taking weight loss supplements will hurt you in the long run.
A week and a half before they started calling, my investigator emailed me that after my file went for review they realized they needed info on an old accident. The list of things they needed from me after the intake had a more recent accident on it they needed info on so I figured they knew what they needed and the first accident was far in the past they didn't need it. I faxed all the info they asked for the next day and called to confirm and I was told I was all good and just to wait. I don't think my folder was re-reviewed in time. But who really knows
Oh man that sucks! :/ hopefully you'll get called this time around

Hope so bruh , when do u think calls will start going out ?
I'm thinking next week, like mid week. I figure the academy starts the week of the 13th and they always use the previous week for id's and uniforms so that's the week of the 6th.
That only leaves next week and the week of the 29th for calls. Then there's the July 4th weekend so I don't think they'd do all the calls, the week of the 29th.

for those who bought a doctor's note stating that they did a recent ppd test, at the medical do they ask you to bring in more stuff besides the note or do they like contact your doctor to see if you did the test?
thanks
thanks

After the medical does everyone get lab results from BHS or is it only if there is something wrong?
