Yes, a service member can be administratively discharged for being overweight, even if they have injuries that prevent them from conducting physical training. However, the discharge process may consider the service member's medical condition and whether it qualifies for a medical evaluation board. If the injuries are documented and affect the member's ability to meet fitness standards, they may be eligible for a medical discharge instead. Ultimately, the specifics of the case, including documentation and the service member's overall situation, will influence the outcome.
