does anyone know the weight requirements for prior service in the army? my husband is 38?

Question

my husband is thinking of rejoining the army but we cant find alist of physical and weight requirements.he is 38. so any help would be appreciated

Answer 1

I suppose it depends on his physical fitness in a whole. Check his BMI (Body Mass Index) and it should be between 19 and 25.
Weight : Height square= BMI
Even if he is a little bit overweight, it does not necessarily mean that he is not eligible: If the examiners see that he is in a good shape nevertheless, he can enlist.
Good luck!

@ "me": Hell no, no man can have 38 pounds and live! *lol* I suppose she is refering to his age......

Answer 2

I don't know about the Army but the Air Force recently did away with the weight requirements and everything is based on how well you past the physical fitness test. Normally the Army and Air Force or very similiar with their requirements. That might be why you are not able to find the weight requirements.

Answer 3

Depends on how tall and a lot of other things.

Call the 800 number.

I have to ask why he would want to re-join. I served over 20 years but would not even think of enlisting after what Raygun and GW have done to the benefits and retirement package. To the Republicans, the majority of whom have never served, our soldiers are just pawns to be sacrificed to feed Haliburton and BIG OIL?

Answer 4

I believe the Army may not want him because of his age unless he is already trained in a high demand job.

Answer 5

Your husband is 38 pounds? That's incredible. Forget about the Army, call the guiness book of records.

Answer 6
