The Navy is overmanned right now and they can take or reject whoever they want. If you're supposed to be 225 then I would encourage you to try and meet that weight. They may accept a couple of lbs. over but not likely to allow more than that. Wanting to enlist and actually signing the papers can take months so you have plenty of time to get in shape.

if u weight more then ur ideal weight, they will go by body fat. They measure the neck. the waist , and the hips. You have to be 36% or less body fat i believe thats the most. My daughter went in weight about 10 pounds over her ideal weight but her body fat was 33% and she got in. Once ur in and waiting to go to bootcamp i suggest u try to lose the most weight as possible

My son was told he could not get in if his body fat was over something or other per the Doc. He worked out lost weight and body fat and went back and got a contract. He made sure he was under his body fat and had lost weight. He ran every day. He looks great now and is preparing for BC when he has to run 1.5 miles in so many minutes. October is BC and he can run faster now without the added weight. Your recruiter should be able to answer any questions you have. The more fit you are before you go to BC the better off you are. Good luck.
