The 'War Is Boring' blog has publicly released a USAF document classified 'Not For Public Release'.
It's called 'Public Affairs Guidance - F35A'

This interesting document requires that US airmen extol the F-35’s questionable capabilities. It's apparently intended to publicise the aircraft’s capabilities in the face of mounting criticism, both internal and external.
Interestingly, it also reveals a new technical problem that had slipped through unnoticed:
On 27 August 2015, the U.S. Services restricted F-35 pilots weighing less than 136 pounds from operating the aircraft due to an increased risk of injury that could occur in a low speed ejection.
I should think this thing'll give Pruners enough material to get their teeth into for several pages.
