Why?
And just curious doesn't count.
And just curious doesn't count.
Why Not? This is a forum, this is a poll
To be honest, I would like to know because I, much like others, are preparing for entry (application process) and would like to know what the average weight of a soldier is that has completed their BMQ, SQ, etc... Once they/you are completed this, everyone should be broken down into the typical fitness level that meets expectations of the military/army and I would like to compare myself to the average weight... pure curiousity!

Not an answer, but what the heh. Just another waste of bandwidth, but go ahead. Problem is, it doesn't take into account height, bone structure. Mesomorph, ectomorph or endomorph. So on the face of it, it's a "well, I'm only xxxlbs compared to the rest" type of poll. If you have a serious reason for a study, let's have some parameters. Otherwise the whole thing is a sham and not worth participating in.

weight means nothing. I've said it time and time again. It doesn't matter if you weigh 150 lbs, or 450 lbs, if you can do the job. Weight is irrelevent. Body composition is everything.
I weigh 215 - 220 lbs. I can do my job (and I look good in my uniform. Damn good. In fact, I actually make the uniform look half-decent. 'Cause I am that good-looking.) Another dude, next door actually weighs around the same, but has a rucksack permanently attached to his frontal-midsection area. He can't do a BFT without a 6 week work-up, hasn't seen his feet since '92, and looks like dog-droppings in anything, especially a uniform.
It ain't how much you weigh. It's what you can do with that weight.

No, that's ok, we do really get it. If you need the poll for self aggrandization, don't let me put a damper on it. Go for it and have a ball.

Its different in every case there's a thing called BMI (Body Mass Index) the forces has people of all shapes and sizes and like recceguy said body structures so its really not fair to say you will gain an average from this. Your data would be skewed as they say in the world of data managment.
Measurement Bias occurs when the data-collection method consistently either under or overestimates, a characteristic of the population. While random errors tend to cancel out, a consistent measurment error will skew the results of a survey. Often, measurment bias results from a data-collection process that affects the variable it is measuring.

My Math teacher would be so proud :blotto:

Most guys my height (6' 2") I find weigh more than me. I tip the scales at 160 lbs and I guess that is because I am an ectomorph. Like it was mentioned before, it doesn't matter what you weigh as long as you can perform your duties as a soldier.
