  your BMI is about 26 so you're not too obese, just overweight... i was 72kg and 169cm when i enlisted in dec 2001, which translate to BMI of ~25. (BMI between 23 and 27.5 is overweight; >=27.5 is obese.)
  
  so they'll probably put you through a extra month of PTP which is mostly extra PT. dun worry, it is not too tough. however, from what i've heard around here, AR15 (or izzit SAR21 already?) tech handling may also begin during PTP phase. my experience though, is that PTP is still a bit more relaxed than the BMT phase. the main aim is for you to lose weight before BMT begins.
