Default I leave for boot camp in a week! questions and advice!

Hey everyone,
I leave for boot camp in one week..
When I depped in last August I depped in at 163 pounds, 66 inches
I had to undergo a minor surgery in nov, and was out of work for 2-3 months, and i couldn't do anything...
My ship date got moved, and i gained quite a bit of weight...
Anyways, I'm now at about 172-174 and haven't had much luck getting the last bit off.
Does anyone know what happens?
I assume my recruiter wouldn't ship me if it was a problem?
I'm a 26 year old female, and i can pass the PRT...I can get about 50 sit ups in 2 mins, and my run is about 15 mins..I do struggle with push ups a bit, but I have gotten 24 in the 2 min mark before.

Any information, words of advice or knowledge is greatly appreciated!
Thanks.

Your max weight is 170, so you're really close. And really, your body fat percentage may give you a bit of extra room.
So not an ideal situation, but probably not going to impact your ship date.

66 inches, and 170 is the male standard I believe. I am a female. I know they have "loosened" their standards, and my body fat is under 32%. I heard 32% and under is required to ship out to basic.
Dunno if my recruiter is making things up or not...

If you're under the max bca percentage, you're good to go.
