ok kiddo your not gonna lose your bill you did your 4 years. James wants to know what your specialty is. At the worst they might send you home but more than likely you gonna run run run. James said most important is to show up. How many lbs did you gain?

The IRR muster is to make sure they can find you. The good news is the IRR won't let "fat" Soldier go on AD! The Marines don't care if you are overweight when they recall you, as they'll just run you slim or dead!

I am curious about this as well. I have to report for MOB next week. I have been out several years and am not within height/weight standards either. Anyone know what has been happening to these people when they report? I have heard from a few that it doesn't matter and others that you are sent home. I am close, I could probably be back within regulations in a month or so.
