Army Colonel Tried to Cover Up Being Fat; Removed from Command
It is one thing to be a toxic leader, but to be fat and demand others cover up for you being fat is even worse:
An Army colonel fired from her job in April tried to intimidate subordinates to bend the rules after a tape test found her to be overweight, according to an Army investigation.
The investigation also found that Col. Glenda Lock, commander of McDonald Army Health Center, fostered a “toxic” work environment. Her own command sergeant major described her as a “dictator,” according to the investigation obtained by Army Times through the Freedom of Information Act.
Though Lock did have some supporters, many of the dozens of witnesses in the report portrayed Lock as an authoritarian leader and sometimes-abusive “bully” who decimated morale, citing several specific examples including belittling of subordinates and retaliatory reassignments.
Army Times reached Lock by email, but she declined comment.
“I will again hold my comments for now. Thank you for the opportunity to provide my perspective on this action,” Lock’s email said. [Army Times]
You can read more at the link, but I have seen some senior leaders that don’t pass the eyeball test in regards to weight and in this case a First Sergeant stuck to enforcing the standard despite the threats from Colonel Lock.
Seek Affirmative Action leaders, get Affirmative Action leaders…
…and cast a cloud of suspicion on those who achieved their position through true merit.
Affirmative Action has done more to cripple those who “benefit” from it than if nothing but true equality and the expectation to do one’s best had been offered.
It’s really hard for a woman to fail the tape test. She must be shaped like a manatee.
Fat colonels you wouldn’t think could pass a tape test often pass it because the majority of their abdominal lard creates a kind of shelf the tape goes under it and voila, they pass.
On that note, here is some very surprising news,
Slimmer women’s waist is associated with better erectile function in men.

“Slimmer women’s waist is associated with better erectile function in men.”
Not me.
I like ’em BIG.
Get down on that jiggly dimpled gut and put some motion in that ocean. Get a mouthful of them big saggy nipple-down titties laying flat against her heaving chest and run your tongue under them where it is moist and funky tasting.
With a scrawny thin waist, you have nothing to get a couple of handfulls of when you pull yourself in with your face shoulders-deep in quivering butt crack amid that sexy smell only found on girls who cannot quite reach far enough to wipe or wash properly.
Daaaaamn… just writing this makes me want to go fap.
Liz, take your disinformation elsewhere.
Thin waists are for children and the starving…
…and men who are attracted to that are either pedos or pervs.
I thought most units required senior leadership to have their height/weight and tape tests monitored by the next person up the chain of command. For her, a one star probably should have been there so she couldn’t bully the person performing the test.
McDonald Army Health Center: Super-sized?
And it’s not just tape tests …
I had a battalion commander who did pushups by bobbing his head up and down – while the rest of his body barely moved. The NCO conducting the test would (very politely) tell him to flex his arms below 90 degrees, keep his body straight, etc. – which the commander never did. And all the pushups counted. No one was willing to fail him on the test and find out what the fallout would have been.
Really GI Korea?
“Really GI Korea?”
a listener, I agree totally, Glad to see I am not alone in thinking WTF.
GI Korea’s Girl of the Week nonsense posts a lot of unflattering pictures of ugly girls in stupid clothes with hobgoblin knees, but this really does take the cake.
While I am digging the uniform cosplay, you could push that face into dough and make gorilla cookies. And, while I like a happy girl, I’m not up with retard happy.
Just looking at that is making me turtle.
We need more of this (safe for work):

Happens ALL the time.
Military has always had difficulties to figure out how to downsize the force when told by congress.
Military could EASILY get well under stated end number objective simply by enforcing Body Fat / Physical fitness standards in even 10% of cases.
If the military would simply allow the desired number of Soldiers in each MOS to get out in one month no questions asked no terminal pay paid, there would still be an abundance applying for this – so much they would fight each other and maim/kill each other some.
@7 – What are you referring to? Are you defending her being overweight and trying to intimidate others to cover up for her? If people want to be overweight in the Army they need to find another profession.
The Russians, Chinese, Iranians and JV are all laughing their collectivist arses off at us.
I bet she went directly from O-4 to O-6…
…’cause there is no way she was a light colonel.
“but to be fat and demand others cover up for you being fat is even worse”
