Maybe with bigger neck he will look more in shape. I wonder what happened to him.

Reason neck size is important: military measures body fat by measuring around the neck at the adam's apple and at the wasit around the navel. Crappy way of doing it, because somebody with three chins can have a 45" waist and get away with it.
Bigger neck is easy...lots of heavy shrugs, medium to wide grip upright rows and good heavy deadlifts with good form. It may not be enough in 3-4 weeks, but if you drop your waist measurement and show some dramatic improvement, your 1st Sgt and Commander should take that into consideration and maybe grant your request for another weigh-in/measurement in 45-90 days.
Good luck.

What Bf% is the max you can have?

Not sure on other services. AF did away with bf % and now just measures around the iliac process (top of hips). Unfair to someone like me who is 6'1" vs. someone who is 5'6". I am in pretty good shape with a 34" waist and 198 pounds, well below the max, but I lose points as 30" is the desired waist size, no matter what the height. I still passed my PT eval with 81 out of 100 points, but I lost the most points on the waist measurement. You can get a total of 50 points for the 1 1/2 mile run, 30 points for waist, 10 points for pushups and 10 points for situps. I maxed the situps and pushups and ran in 13 minutes, but I lost like 10 points on the waist. One of my goof friends is also a E-7 and barely passed. He maxed out the points for the pushups and situps, ran faster than me, but got no points for waist. He has 22 inch arms and a 41 inch waist (he is huge) and lifts weights that make ME puke. But none of that counts. Just gotta be fast and skinny. We don't want no strong boys in the AF.

That sounds stupid they should take in height and if they are just big all together not fat but musclular.
