Military Health on 27 Mar 09That's the message from Marine officials, who are ready to enforce the Corps' new Body Composition and Military Appearance programs with little mercy now that a 120-day grace period, put in place as a heads-up for Marines who needed to lose weight, is over. Male Marines who are 26 and younger will be assigned to the program if they can't keep their body fat at or below 18 percent of their total body weight, while women 26 or younger must be at or below 26 percent.
