I didn't know that, but now I see that works too! I'm glad I'm only 5'9 hahaha

I’m 5’8” but I’m curious to see what the standards are.

If I knew, I would tell ya man. It's really up to the flight surgeons at NAMI to make a judgement call there.

Shoutout to papacarter for sharing some of the Flight Physical criteria though.

The biggest determinant for jets is your hip to knee length not your actual height

It has only been 3 days and this waiting is eating me alive ! I need to keep my mind off of it somehow, seeing the new Top Gun didn't help and in fact I think made things worse.

I'm seeing Top Gun tomorrow. I can't wait.

Also do civilians not do anthro measurements at meps? My corpsman did mine before I was able to submit my application, I'm cleared for all aircraft which is the one time in my life I'm happy I'm not tall.

If you're 5'8 theres a good chance you'll be cleared for all aircraft.

I mean MEPS gave me 5’7” but I’ve been this tall since I was 13 and every civilian doc has told me 68 inches.

But that’s definitely good to know , I’m trying to take things one step at a time. Just hoping for a Pro Rec-Y right now.

We used to do them, they were not official so to speak but were done to make sure there wasn't a glaring issue, I only heard of a few so very very rare.

I wonder why that is. I would think it would benefit the navy and the applicant to know what aircraft they are cleared for before going to OCS.

I believe they are
