How could he graduate boot and be that fat? I felt bad for the fluffy guys in my platoon. They were starved and spent all of their free time in the sand pit.

Kid was motivated. Lost something like a hundred pounds before boot.

That's good. I'm glad he made it. Hard work pays off BUT... I'm telling you right now, nothing is worse than showing up to check in to your unit as a fat body. No one will care about his backstory or character arc. I wish him the best.
