Wash Post reports: "Pentagon recruiting troops to watch White House UFC fights, memos show "Internal messages reviewed by The Post stipulate that military personnel must pay their own way and meet strict physical requirements to be eligible." So ... What would the "strict physical requirements" be to watch a fight? Well, "Officials are seeking junior enlisted personnel and junior officers specifically, according to internal messages that make clear travel will be “member-procured.” "Junior troops make up the military’s lowest pay grades. "One memo, circulated within the Air Force, stipulates that to be eligible, personnel “MUST MEET CURRENT WAIST-HEIGHT RATIO and current physical fitness standard.” Troops will be required to wear their short-sleeve dress uniforms, the memo adds."
