This regulation prescribespolicies, responsibilities, and procedures forthe use, preparation, and disposition ofOHMR Form 88/93 (Medical Examination/MedicalHistory). It provides medicalfitness standards to insure uniformity in themedical evaluation of:a. Candidates for military service orpersons in the military service in terms ofmedical conditions and physical defectswhich are causes for rejection or unfitnessfor military service.b. Candidates for, and persons in,certain enlisted military occupational specialtiesand officer duty assignments, interms of medical conditions and physicaldefects which are causes for rejection ormedical unfitness for those specialized duties.1-2. Objectives. The objectives of this regulationare as follows:a. Commission and enlist in theOhio Military Reserve individuals who are:1) Free of contagious or infectiousdiseases which would be likely to endangerthe health of other personnel.2) Free of medical conditions orphysical defects which would require excessivetime lost from duty by reason of necessarytreatment or hospitalization or mostprobably result in separation from the serviceby reason of medical unfitness.3) Medically capable of satisfactorilycompleting required training.4) Medically adaptable to the militaryenvironment without the necessity ofgeographical area limitations.5) Medically capable of performingduties without aggravation of existingmedical conditions or physical defects.b. Provide for the timely separationfrom the Ohio Military Reserve those individualswhose continued performance ofduty would compromise their health andwell-being or prejudice the interests of theState of Ohio.c. Provide realistic procurement andretention of officers and enlisted by medicalfitness criteria, while excluding fromconsideration those individuals with medicalconditions or physical defects which wouldcompromise their health and well-being orprejudice the interests of the State of Ohio.d. Effect the maximum utilization ofphysicians by procuring physicians who, althoughthey may have medical conditions orphysical defects which would ordinarily because for rejection for original entry into themilitary service, may be expected to performappropriate military duties as physicians.e. Provide general administrativeguidelines for the conduct of military medicalexaminations and specific policy statementsregarding the scope of these examinations,the manner of recording findings, and the frequencyand validity periods of such examinations1-3. Medical Classification. Individuals evaluatedunder the medical fitness standards containedin this regulation will be reported asindicated below:a. Medically acceptable. Medical examinerswill report as "medically acceptable"all individuals who meet the fitness standardsestablished for the particular purpose forwhich examined. No individuals will be acceptedon a provisional basis subject to thesuccessful treatment or correction of a disqualifyingcondition.b. Medically unacceptable. Medicalexaminers will report as "medically unacceptable"by reason of medical unfitness all individualswho possess any one or more of themedical or physical conditions listed in thisregulation as a cause for rejection for the specificpurpose for which examined, except asnoted in subparagraph c. Examinees reportedas medically unacceptable by reason of medicalunfitness will be rejected when the medicalfitness standards in chapter 2 apply.c. Medically unacceptable prior administrativewaiver granted. Medical examinerswill report as "medically unacceptable prioradministrative waiver granted" all individualswho do not meet the medical fitness standards

for the particular purpose for which examinedafter a waiver has been previouslygranted and all the provisions of paragraph1-4c apply.1-4. Waivers.a. Medical fitness standards cannotbe waived by medical examiners or by theexaminee.b. Examinees initially reported asmedically unacceptable by reason of medicalunfitness when the medical fitness standardsin Chapter 2 apply, may request awaiver of the medical fitness standards.OHMR Form 22-3, Request for Waiver, withappropriate documentation attached, if applicable,will be submitted through staffchannels to the Deputy Chief of Staff, Personnel(G1). Waivers may be granted by theCommanding General, OHMR, with appropriateprofessional medical advice.c. Waivers of medical fitness standardswhich have been previously grantedapply automatically to subsequent medicalactions pertinent to the program or purposefor which granted without the necessity ofconfirmation or termination when:1) The duration of the waiver wasnot limited at the time it was granted, and2) the medical or physical conditionhas not interfered with the individual'ssuccessful performance of military duty, and3) the medical or physical conditionwaived was below retention medicalfitness standards applicable to the particularprogram involved and the medical or physicalcondition has remained essentially unchanged,or4) the medical or physical conditionwaived was below procurement medicalfitness standards applicable to the particularprogram or purpose involved and the medicalor physical condition, although worse, iswithin the retention medical fitness standardsprescribed for the purpose or programinvolved.Chapter 2Medical Fitness Standards for Appointment,Enlistment and Retention2-1.

Medical History. An examinee may completethe medical history portion of OHMRForm 93 himself to the degree that he is ablein advance of the medical examination. Thehistory should be reviewed with the examinerfor completeness and correctness of medicaldescriptions.3-2. Physical Examination.a. A physical examination for enlistment,appointment or determination of statusmay be conducted by any licensed physician,registered nurse or, in some cases, a militarymedical specialist designated by the OHMRSurgeon General. Except when conducted bymilitary medical personnel at the direction ofthe OHMR Surgeon General, any costs associatedwith the examination will be borne bythe examinee.

. The examiner will use an OHMRForm 88, Medical Examination, as a guidefor conducting the examination and will recordthe findings thereon. The form must besigned by the examiner.c. A physical examination completedby a physician for some other purpose,and not more than three months priorto the date of enlistment or appointment,may be submitted by the examinee in lieu ofbeing examined again. It will be securelyattached (stapled) to the back of the individual'sOHMR Form 88 and a notation madeon the medical examination section of theform.Chapter 4Height, Weight, and Physical Fitness Standards4-1. Evaluation.a. All persons enlisting or applyingfor appointment must meet these standards.b. All soldiers will be evaluated annuallyin conjunction with their annual EERor OER.c. All soldiers will be evaluatedwhen being considered for promotion.4-2. Failure to meet standards.a. Persons seeking enlistment orappointment who do not meet thestandards will be disqualified. Soldiersapplying for a resident professionaldevelopment course or for promotion whodo not meet the standards will not beconsidered. A waiver may be granted bythe Commanding General, or his designee,under the following circumstances:1. Upon a review of theresults of a medical examination, if itdetermined that a medical condition iscausing the overweight condition, a waivermay be granted if it is determined that theapplicant/enlistee can perform militaryservice without restriction, or2. Upon review of theresults of a medical examination, if it isdetermined that the applicant/enlistee doesnot have a medical condition, but canperform military service without restriction,the applicant may be granted a waiver if heor she agrees to participate in a prescribedweight management program, or3. A waiver may be granted ifthe enlistee/applicant agrees to submit to,and successfully passes, an OHMR PhysicalFitness Test on a yearly basis.b. Failure to meet any of the standardsat any other time an evaluation is requiredwill initiate a progressive remedial action:1. Upon the first incident of failure,the soldier will be counseled and given threemonths to show significant improvement towardthe required goal.2. If significant progress has beenmade but the required goal was not achievedwithin the first three months, the soldier will becounseled and given an additional threemonths to improve his scores. During thattime, the soldier is limited to wearing the classC uniform and restricted from participating inactivities which require class A or B uniform.3. If, following the six months of remedialactions described above, the soldierhas not achieved the required standards, thesoldier will be involuntarily separated.4-3. Weight to Heighta. See Appendix A.4-4. Waist to Hip Ratioa. Recent research and global studieshave indicated that Waist to Hip ratio is abetter predictor of the risk of heart attack andgeneral health than body-mass index, thecurrent standard.b. The standard ratio is less than 0.95for male soldiers and less than 0.80 for femalesoldiers. If the ratio exceeds these standards,the soldier should be counseled that this is anunhealthy weight distribution and should beadvised to enter a medically supervised weightmanagement program.c. Determine the waist to hip ratio byobtaining the measurements as shown belowand working the calculation as described.1. Measure the waist at the widestpoint (generally at the navel) using a tapemeasure.2. Measure the hips at the widestpoint (generally at the point of the buttocks)using a tape measure.3. Divide the waist measurement bythe hip measurement. The resultant sum is thewaist to hip ratio.

4. The waist to hip ratio will beused over the weight to height measurementto determine if a soldier meets standards.4-5. Physical Fitness Test. See Appendix B.4-6. Testing.a. All fitness testing is voluntary anddone at the individual’s sole discretion andresponsibility; no soldier or applicant can beordered to complete the testing requirements.However, by electing to not completethe testing, the individual voluntarilydisqualifies and makes himself ineligible forthose activities or actions which require successfulcompletion of a physical fitness test.b. Any person designated by thetesting unit’s commander may conduct thetesting. However, when conducting thewaist to hip ratio measuring, only femalesmay measure females.c. The OIC, NCOIC, or medicalpersonnel have the authority to restrict anymember from participating in physical fitnesstesting. Testing will be conducted in PTclothes, or at the soldier’s option, Class Cuniform without the blouse and with runningshoes in lieu of boots.d. All elements of the fitness testmust be completed in a single testing session;the individual may not do part of thetest one day and part the next. There is nolimit on the number of times an individualmay attempt any or all of the components ofthe test, so long as it is done the same day.The OIC or NCOIC of the testing session willdetermine the start and finish of the session.e. Individuals may rest flat on thefloor in the exercise position between sit-upsand pushups. The resting time counts aspart of the total elapsed time.f. Form 705, Physical Fitness TestRecord, (see Appendix C) will be used torecord the results of a soldier’s physicalfitness test. The form may be completed byany NCO or officer assigned to conduct andvalidate testing.g. The individual conducting the testwill fill in the test results in pen as theyoccur. Result will be compared toRegulation 40-1, Appendixes A and B, todetermine requirements and GO/ NO GOstatus. The appropriate box will be checked.The form will then be signed by the soliderbeing tested and the testing/validation NCOICor OIC.h. The test record will be filed in thesoldier’s local Miltary Personnel RecordsJacket (MPRJ) and a copy forwarded toDCSPER, OHMR for inclusion in the soldier’scentralized MPRJ. Additional copies maydistributed as needed (example: withpromotion recommendation or schoolapplication).4-7. Waiversa. Physical fitness standards cannotbe waived by examiners or by the examinee.b. Examinees initially reported asphysically unacceptable by reason of physicalunfitness based on the physical fitness standardsin this chapter, may request a waiver ofthe physical fitness standards. OHMR Form22-5, OHMR Medical Waiver Agreement, withappropriate documentation attached, will besubmitted through staff channels to the DeputyChief of Staff, Personnel (G1). Waivers maybe granted by the Commanding General,OHMR, with appropriate professional medicaladvice.c. Physical fitness waivers will not begranted for simply being chronically overweight,out of shape, or too old. There mustbe a documented medical basis of physicalimpediment or impairment which precludesthe application of one or more of the standardsof this chapter but which does not impairthe individual’s ability to perform militaryduty. In all cases of waiver, an alternativemeasure, or measures, of physical fitnesstesting will be required.c. Waivers of physical fitness standardswhich have been previously grantedapply automatically to subsequent medicalactions pertinent to the program or purpose forwhich granted without the necessity of confirmationor termination when:1) the duration of the waiver wasnot limited at the time it was granted, and2) the medical or physical conditionhas not interfered with the individual's successfulperformance of military duty, and3) the medical or physical conditionwaived was below retention medical fitnessstandards applicable to the particular program

involved and the medical or physical conditionhas remained essentially unchanged, or4) the medical or physical conditionwaived was below procurement medicalfitness standards applicable to the particularprogram or purpose involved and the medicalor physical condition, although worse, iswithin the retention medical fitness standardsprescribed for the purpose or programinvolved.

APPENDIX A (Weight to Height Table) to Regulation 40-1 (Physical Examination and Standards of Physical Fitness)Weight to Height Table1. Height is measured in stocking feet without shoes or boots, standing on a flat surface with the chinparallel to the floor. The body should be straight but not rigid, similar to the position of attention. Themeasurement will be rounded as follows:a. If the fraction is less than ½ inch, round down to the next whole number.b. If the fraction is more than ½ inch, round up to the next whole number.2. Weight is measured and recorded to the nearest pound following these guidelines:a. If the fraction is less than ½ pound, round down to the next whole number.b. If the fraction is more than ½ pound, round up to the next whole number.3. This chart is designed for weight measurements taken in a standard PT uniform (gym shorts and T-shirt; without shoes). Alternatively, measurements may be taken in a standard Class C uniform (BDU)consisting of blouse, trousers, belt, undershirt, underwear, and socks without boots. In this case, subtract4½ pounds from the measured weight to calculate the soldier’s equivalent weight.4. For soldiers over 80 inches, add 6 pounds per inch for males and 5 pounds per inch for females to calculatetable weights.Height Male Female(ininches) Age Age17-2021-2728-39 40+17-2021-2728-39 40+58 x x x x 141 144 148 15259 x x x x 145 145 152 15760 167 171 174 177 149 153 157 16161 171 175 180 182 153 158 161 16562 177 180 184 187 189 163 167 17263 181 185 190 193 163 168 172 17764 187 191 195 198 198 172 177 18165 192 196 201 203 172 177 181 18566 198 201 206 209 177 182 187 19167 203 208 209 213 181 185 191 19668 209 213 219 221 187 191 196 20269 214 219 224 229 191 195 201 20670 220 225 230 233 196 201 206 21271 225 230 235 239 201 205 211 21672 231 236 242 245 205 211 216 22373 240 242 248 251 211 216 222 22974 246 249 254 258 218 223 230 23575 249 255 261 264 223 229 235 24276 255 261 268 271 230 235 242 24977 262 268 274 278 234 241 248 25478 268 274 281 284 240 246 253 26079 274 281 288 291 245 252 259 26680 280 286 294 298 251 258 264 272A-1
