Weight Standards. The Coast Guard’s screening weight standards are based on body mass index
(BMI), a weight that corresponds with an individual’s height. In compliance with reference (a), the Coast Guard has established the BMI standard of
19.0 (minimum) and 27.5 (maximum), regardless of age or gender.
a normal weight status will have a BMI between
- 5 and
24. 9.
BMI range between ? is considered overweight and a BMI over 30.0 is obese.
25.0 and 29.9
Take all circumference measurements three (3) times and
record them to the
nearest 1/2 inch.
Body Fat Calculations.
Male CV = Abdomen – Neck (in inches)
Female CV = Waist + Buttocks – Neck (in inches)
If the non-compliance was the result of a semiannual weight screening,
it shall count as a strike for the purposes of the “three-strike rule.”
Ineligible for Probation.
a. Members who exceed maximum allowable body fat by more than
eight percent and maximum screening weight by over 35 pounds are ineligible for probation and will be processed for seperation.
Members who are non-compliant for a third consecutive time within a
14-month period are ineligible for probation and will be processed for separation.
Probation Duration.
a. Probationary periods begin immediately upon a non-compliant weigh-in and shall not exceed
eight months or 35 weeks.

Policy. In order to have an operationally physically ready workforce, and to promote general health and wellness, the following policy applies.
All AD and SELRES, are required to develop Personal Fitness Plans, Form CG-6049. The completed Personal Fitness Plan (PFP) must be submitted to their supervisors in the months of April and October; the most current form must be kept on file or electronically saved by the member and supervisor.
Physical activity should produce a training effect, as measured by a medium to vigorous level of intensity.
Because the effects of physical activity are cumulative, exercise sessions may vary in length, with a minimum of 10 minutes, in order to be beneficial.
what if a member can’t work out?
If a member is unable to participate in fitness enhancing activity due to medical conditions, a Duty Status from their primary care manager to their current supervisor is required.
Policy. Healthy weight management is largely an issue of personal accountability. However, it is also the responsibility of leadership throughout the CG to support healthy weight management behaviors by, creating work environments that support healthy behavior, and lead by example.
To ensure healthy environments Commanding Officers will annually review the Commanding Officer’s PHA Report, and contact HSWL SC or the CG HPPM via e-mail for recommendations on how to improve the nutrition at your unit.
who’s duty and responsibility is it to look at how the coast guard eats, ensure nutrition, annually collect data about eating trends, and establish goat of healthy eating?

Operational Stress Control (OSC)
Green zone = (Ready) - well training and fit
Yellow zone = (Reacting) - irritable, angry, anxious
Orange zone = (Injured) -life threat
Red zone = (ill) - PTSD
Encourage, Teach, and Support Low-Risk Guidelines for Alcohol Use. The SAP Program adopted a risk management model for alcohol consumption.
a. There are occasions where “zero” drinks is the low-risk option; such as, when one is driving, using machinery, cleaning a weapon, pregnant, or on certain medications;
b. Consuming no more than one “standard alcoholic beverage” per hour;
c. Two standard drinks per occasion and never to exceed three;
d. Check with a health care provider to ensure it is safe to consume alcohol with prescribed medication or diagnosed medical condition.
Health-related components of Physical Fitness.
There are five components of physical
fitness:
1) body composition, (2) flexibility, (3) muscular strength, (4) muscular endurance, and (5) cardiorespiratory endurance.
The American College of Sports Medicine states that moderate-intensity physical activity between 150-250 minutes per week is effective in preventing weight gain, but will provide only modest weight loss.
Physical activity greater than 250 minutes per week is recommended for weight loss and the prevention of weight gain.
Muscle-Strengthening Activities.
- Muscle-strengthening activities should be performed on 2 or more days per week.
- Exercises for each muscle group should be repeated 8 to 12 times per set. As exercises become easier, increase the weight or do another set.
Flexibility.
- Each time you perform aerobic or strength-training activities, take an extra 10 minutes to stretch the major muscle groups.
- Hold stretches for 10 to 30 seconds and repeat each stretch 3 to 4 times.
Weather Safety Concerns
- The fitness testing must not to be conducted under harsh environmental conditions.
- Specifically, the test should not be conducted outdoors when wind chill is 20 degrees Fahrenheit or lower
- or when hot weather “black flag” conditions exist (wet bulb globe temperature [WBGT]) of 90 degrees Fahrenheit or higher.
Warm-Up. The command representative must lead participants in a
five to ten minute dynamic warm-up exercise session prior to the start of the tests. The warm up session is not designed to tire members.
Separations rules:
- Fails the test by more than 35lbs or 8% (fill out form SF-600
- Fails to show progress during probations( not showing any signs of weight loss at the halfway point)
- fails to comply at the end of their probation
- Third probationary period in 14 myths
- Three consecutive failed semiannual weight ins in a 6 month period
What will happen to a reserve member who fails weight test?
will be transferred to the standby reserve, Inactive status list for one year.
If the member comes within compliance within the year, then he/she can transfer back to ready reserve.
If the member does not then will be separated.
What is the maximum AC (abdominal circumference)
- Max AC for Men is 39 inches
women is 35.5 inches - If person chooses to leave clothing on deduct 1 inch
- AC measurement will not be used to calculate probation periods.
Verbal instructions shall be read to personal before the measurement.
Verbal
