I was wondering if anyone had the anthro measurements for the different navy aircraft, so I can see what I'd fit into.

thanks

I've got some info on the planes in the path to fighters, but that's it. It's too complicated to post all the stinkin' measurements, so if you think you're too big/small on a particular length then email me and I'll check for you (or anyone else who is curious.) From the information I have available, being too big/small doesn't necessarily DQ you from an aircraft. I believe you can do a cockpit fit-check to make sure you fit/don't fit. However, I haven't even been to OCS yet and am getting all my info from a book. So, all that being said, email me for specific questions.

From the NOMI website:

ANTHROS
Required for applicants. No Waivers.



Sitting Height (SH) 32-41 in.

Functional Reach (FR) 28 in. or more

Buttock Knee Length (BKL) 21.9-28 in.

Buttock Leg Length (BLL) 36-50 in.

BKL is the most critical measurement. If member does not meet anthro standards on initial measurement he must be retested three times by the AVT and the flight surgeon. Please pay attention--these are frequently missed by examiners!

HEIGHT
Navy: 62" to 78" (M); 58" to 78" (F) for Commissioning in URL.
USMC: Minimum 66" (M) and 58" (F) for Commissioning

Make sure you check your measurements before you apply. I was halfway through the application process when my recruiter said I needed to get measured - turned out I was an inch too short on the BKL.

Moreover, if you are "close," the anthro dude at NAMI will re-measure you, and his word is the final say. Supposedly, if you get DQd for flight when you're in Pcola, they still send you home. Don't know how true this is.
