When I was in the Army they based body weight by a height to weight body ratio chart and if over according to ratio they would do body measurements to decide if wieght was like in chest, shoulders, waist, ect... Don't know if this helps... and may have changed or be a little incorrect, just what I remember Keith

In my case I have two 201 files one from the Army and one from the CIA. Still trying to obtain the 201 from the CIA under the FOIA. We will see what's in that one.
