That link works to show the body fat. As far as the 30 days, the recruiter has people that s/he can get in with out having to worrying about their weight or any waivers, so they don't want to spend much time on someone who doesn't meet the requirements. They give them a set time, and if they can't get in standards by than, it is up to the want to be Depper to do it themselves. Your husband needs to get in standards, he didn't gain the weight overnight so he isn't going to loose it over night either. He needs to be driven to do it than go back to the recruiter and try again.
Keep in mind when someone not trained to do the measurements does them they will not be 100% correct, so you could tape him at an ok BCA but when he goes to the recruiter he could be over. Best for your husband to shoot for being with in weight standards and not have to worry about the BCA part of it
