The Sand in the Socks Trick

From the Kansas City Star (12-20-67) -

Raymond Powell wanted to join the Marine Corps, but realized in 1961, at the age of 17, he couldn't make the minimum weight necessary. "He came back home and he ate candy and gained five pounds," said his father, the Rev. Warfus Powell. "When he discovered that wasn't enough, we got a pair of heavy socks and taped them to the inside of his leg. I weighted them with sand. When he got on the scale during the examination, he leaned over as though he had cramps so they couldn't see the socks. He passed."
