Navy Circumference Calculation of Body Fat

I found this site: http://www.free-online-calculator-use.com/military-body-fat-calculator.html#Neck which gives you instructions on measuring your body fat % the way the U.S. Navy does it.

My stats are:

Neck: 12.8"
Waist: 27.75"
Widest part of hips: 39.5"
Height: 65"

Plugging this information in gives me a body fat percentage of 27.6% which is far better than my Tanita scale which measures me at 34%!

I am still learning to use calipers, so decided to try this method first, then see what the calipers say.
