Is my recruiter messing with me?

so im looking to join the military...dont hate if u think im stupid for doing this i can care less im clearly not doing it for u since i dont know u im doing it for the people that appraceiate it even though we've never met...anywa initially i was going to join the army...i took the asvab and had to lose 2% of body fat before i could go to meps and sign my contract...anyway i would go every week to weigh myself and get taped..im 5'9" (69) inches and weighed 245..anyway my recruiter had to go take some training and was gone for almost a month during that period i got to the max body fat % and then i decided i wanted to keep losing weight until my recruiter came back and try to avoid being taped all together...during this time i ran into a marine buddy and he encouraged me to go talk to the marines..well i did just to give him the time of day and i came out like whatever..wel in no time i read all about the Marines and was like I want to be a Marine...i was told my max weight for my height was 211 so i lost the weight and went to sign up and now my marine recruiter's boss is there and we go over what i have told u guys and how i want to be a Marine.. i told him i was off weight by like 4-5 lbs from 211 max but i could lose it by the next day ..he tells me they lost my measurements so he had to he do my measurements and says im 5'8" (68 inches) tall...and so now he says my max weight is 199 since i shrunk an inch..hes like unless u grow an inch in 2 weeks ur going to have to get to 199 before i can get your paper work started...i went to the army recruiters for like 3 months and every week my heightwas the same..is this a Marine's sense of humor? i think he's just trying to f*ck with me...it sounds like the type of thing marines do..is he just trying to see if im really interested in the corp by making me lose another 15 lbs?? cuz i have made progress from 240 + but that was for the army...its getting harder and harder to lose weight the first pounds dropped quick but now my body's used to less calories, healthy food and running and i stopped the p90x cus i noticed i gained some muscle weight which wasnt bad for the army cus they can tape me for body fat...im new to these marine recruiter's so im guessing they want to see if im really committed or just a fluke?? anybody care to comment on this?? i think this guys is trying to F#CK with me...no way i have shrunk an inch...i just turned 21 so its not like im old and shrinking...
