Army Height & Weight Charts

Army weight requirements are not only broken down between male and female and heights but also age. When determining height, it should be measured in stocking feet on a flat surface with chin level to the floor and with back straight. Round the measurement to the nearest inch. Weight will be rounded to the nearest pound. Measurements will be taken at the Military Entrance Processing Center and will determine whether or not you will be allowed to start basic training.
