I'm 176lbs and my max weight is 181 I think. I'm trying my best to stay out of the max weight by running almost every day. I've been told that you have to be under 10lbs to not get taped. I also been told that as long as you are under the weight, whether or not you are under 10lbs, you wont get taped. Which is true? Is getting taped that big of a deal? I'm working on getting in shape before basic and I run 20+ miles a week, and would hate to think they wont let me join just because I'm over weight in their standards but I believe I can do PT just as good if not better than everyone else there.

I'm just a bit paranoid thinking that just because I'm near the max weight standards, that they wont allow me to join.

Online BMI calculators aren't that much of a help since when I use them, I apparently have 26.3% BMI but when I was at MEPS I had about 24% and I weighed more then.
