Same here y'all. I was in during the reign of lean and mean. I never fit the profile. I overcame it through performance3. One of my jobs on the SCUBA committee was to swim circles around the "Hot Shots" (literally) to show them they weren't so hot.
My previous post still holds. Only you know if you are carrying extra baggage. From your BMI you aren't.
I took semi-annual class II diving physicals. I was always 20-30 pounds over the "ideal" weight. Once after all of the step tests, stress tests, EKG etc. the doctor announced that I was in perfect shape but think how much better I may feel if I lost 20 pounds.
My biggest problem was when I left the service and became more or less sedentary. My present weight is classified
. Going from extreme physical activity to very little requires a great adjustment in the diet.
