According to the Japanese calculation my ideal weight is 60 Kg. and my maximum allowable is 78 Kg. According to Engineer's formula my ideal is between 53 and 69 Kg.
When I 'joined' the Airforce I weighed 57 Kg. had a 36 inch chest, 28 inch waist and took a 14 collar. They classified me as undernourished and put me on special rations to build me up. My chit wasn't cancelled until I reached 68 Kg. of rippling muscles, with a 42 inch chest, 32 inch waist and a 15 1/2 inch collar. You could just "pinch one inch" of skin on my waist line. Today I am 73 Kg. and considered far from overweight.
Maybe the Imperial Japanese Army really did think that their guests at Changi were seriously overweight?
