My son is in the Navy. One of his buddies got in trouble because he wasn't keeping physically fit. He served his required P.E., but his commanding officer had a grudge against him and said he was still too fat. Had to go back for more P.E.

He was late one day for this, so he got punished and had to stand in front of all the big wigs for this. They reamed him a new one.

He was late on another day after this because, well, he just couldn't lose any more weight. He also knew he'd NEVER be able to satisfy his commanding officer. Because of this......

He's been given a dishonorable discharge and kicked out on his ***. No education, no money. Three years of putting up with fat jokes finally did him in - no benefits, nothing - because he gave up on his diet.

Did this young sailor deserve such treatment on base here in the States?
