"Ethnically Challanged" for the Marine Corps.....

After a gut wrenching 11 years in the Corps I have come to realize that the Marine Corps is NOT, I repeat NOT for anyone other than the typical white man or female (No Ass, No Hip, No Stomach, NO BODY FAT whatsoever!!! in Dave Chappelle's voice "Pancake Butt's"). I am in no way shape or form being raciest here. This is just how I feel about the Marine Corps Stance on height/weight perseption. So, for those who don't know Marine Corps regulations, you have to be a certain weight for your particular height. If you don't make that weight, you will then be taped,to get your body fat percentage (which, by the way, is the worst way to get your body fat measured). If you don't make either weight or tape then you will put on BCP (BCP = Body Composition Program) Anyway, For the past couple of weeks now, Marines have been scrambling trying to lose their excess weight. Not cool! I see these guys and girls going to the gym sitting in the Sauna, draining their bodies of the one thing that keeps them healthy their SANITY! I really mean water...They all look like freakin' Zombies (it's not a happy time right now.) Now, I'm not saying that some of these guys shouldn't lose some weight, cause a couple of these dudes do look like walking rollie-pollies. They should have been working on their weight all year round, but each his own. I know, and they sure as hell know that they are over weight. But, in some of these Marines' defense, not all men are created equal. I can't say that Marine 1 and Marine 2 can both lose 5lbs in a weeks time. Marine 1 maybe able to lose the 5lbs by just breathing, while Marine 2 may not be able to lose the weight that easy (no matter how hard he/she may workout), it might take Marine 2 3 weeks, while Marine 1 takes 2 days to lose the same amount of weight. Like I said before, everyone is different and no man (or woman for the matter) is created equal. So, for the Marine Corps to judge someone because of what their weight is proportioned to what their height is, is freaking RIDICULOUS!!! A 300 PFT'er (PFT = Physical Fitness Test) who is, let's say 6 foot tall or 72 inches (for us Marines) is 9lbs over their max weight (which is 202lbs) is still considered a FAT ASS, but a Marine who is the same Height, but is within "regs", but barely passes the same PFT...it's alright. Come on! All that would be said about that Marine is "All he/she has to do is workout on the event of the PFT he needs to improve on and he'll be alright." While the Marine who gets a 300 is talked about in a bad light. All that is seen is that he/she is over their max weight, and considered to be a glutton, a person who doesn't know how to control eatting. The first question would be, What does your diet look like? Do you even workout? Why are you over weight? Makes no damn sense! It's so damn infuriating! It's annoying, and insulting! Take me for example, I'm 5'7" or 67" tall. I am not in anyway a "stud" when it comes to the PFT, but I hold my own. I pass with a fairly decent score. Here's my problem, I'm an ethnic woman (this means hips and ass) If I were to go past 159lbs, I would be considered "overweight" even though I for DAMN sure don't look it. This means I would have to get taped. If I were to get taped...wait for it...the results would be I am a FAT ASS in the Marine Corps eyes (even though I damn near live in the gym, and sure as hell don't look fat). Mind you, I can not pass 27% Body Fat...I am a whopping 33%! There is NO WAY IN HELL I will EVER make tape. All I would do is laugh...Now if a Non-Ethnic woman (once again, I am not raciest) who is same height and weight comes in and weighs in, you best believe she will (and I have seen this with my own eyes) make weight, and not even have to worry about tape. I guess all I can do right now is vent, because all I am is a Sgt in the big ol' Marine Corps...Small fish in a huge ass pond. If I were to try and say something, no one will hear me. I will have to try and figure out how to make my voice heard. I truly believe that this Height/Weight system is not fair for some and fair for others. Those who deserve to be labeled a fat ass, should be labeled that, but those of us who are "Ethnically Challenged" in the Marine Corps are suffering because of who we are body wise. Now, is that really fair?
