Military issue camouflage will fit you, and they can provide that for you at boot camp. However, I can tell you right now that the Army recruiter is probably going to tell you that you need to lose weight before they let you join. I'm 6 feet 4 inches tall and weigh 220 pounds, and I'm 10 pounds shy of the Department of Defense maximum for my height. Once you hit your max they measure your body fat, and if you're over 20% they put you on the weight management program. You need to sit down and think about this because you HAVE to keep your weight within standards in the Army, and they're very strict about it.

Go to a recruiter's office. If you join the army and accepted, you will have to get your height and weight taken. The regulation is AR 600-9. It details your authorized weight for your age and gender. That would be the first step. If you meet the standards, upon getting sent to basic, one of the first stops is to get your uniforms. Your pants will probably be either a large/long or an extra large/ long.

The measure you, then they have a uniform made if you need an odd size like you do. I wouldn't worry about it. The military won't turn you away because they can't clothe you. Why do you want to join the military?

Are you likely to run the required distance in the time allowed? You sound like a big target. If I get drafted, can I hide behind you? Basic training will really, really, really hurt you, if you don't get yourself fit before you take this any further.
Finally, would you like to be killed in Afghanistan, or Iraq, in pursuit of US foreign policy objectives?

They have uniforms made to fit....you sound like a big guy. They will give you body fat analysis...if you are over 26% you will have to take the arms test. After boot camp you are going to be huge..like muscle wise.

They do go this big, but without being rude you may want to take a look at your physique and fitness before you join.

For those that don't know, they go up to a mark F.
I can see you all thinking what size is that.
Well it is once size smaller than a Marquee.
