After about 2 yrs in the Army I had to have the tape test everytime we weighed in because I was 5'6 and weighed 195lbs. When I would walk up for the tape test the would just laugh because my neck was 18 1/2 & my waist 31inches so I passed the test easy everytime. That is crazy to only have a 15inch nech at over 250lbs!!
Thats the link for the measurments.

in our unit in the Navy there was a guy who disputed his bf% as measured by the tape. He was a pretty big guy approx. 290lbs or so and the tape method had him over 30% bf%.
He entered his dispute in and they sent him out for the hydrostatic test and got him dipped and his percentage ended up being around 18%. This was many years ago so i don't remember the exact process, but i do know it's possible to dispute the tape measure method.
Hope that helps.
