what years did the army use the "pinch test" to measure body fat percentage?

i heard from my NCOIC that the Army used the "pinch test" method to measure body fat. it just seems to odd that it was even used- (how we measure certain aspects of the body now even seems to be out of date) i was just wondering if it was used, and if so- when?
