Researchers also found that roughly 10% of soldiers qualify as"overweight," far below the general population but a troubling figure for the force’s standards. used regularly in health care and athletics to determine body fat content, but the cost of the scanners, ranging from $15,000 to $100,000, proved too costly and difficult to make accessible to all soldiers at any given time.
"I do call it the heartbreaker," Grinston said of the body scanners."I thought I was much leaner than I was. And I got on the [scanner], and it broke my heart. So I have a little bit more body fat than I really want."We are proposing a way that you can actually get a second opinion before we separate soldiers. I think that giving every chance and benefit of the doubt to soldiers is what we should be doing.
