Like the other services, in the Navy, the weight charts are used for initial screening. When a sailor exceeds the weight indicated on the chart, that doesn't necessarily mean he/she is considered overweight. It means that the Navy needs to perform a body-fat measurement to determine if the sailor falls within the prescribed Navy Body Fat standards.
Body Fat Standards in the Navy are:
Male - 17 to 39 - 22 percent
Male - 40 + - 23 percent
Female - 17 to 39 - 33 percent
Female - 40 + - 34 percent
Procedures to measure Body Fat Composition can be found in OPNAV Instruction 6110.1G, Navy Physical Readiness Program.
Sailors who exceed their allowable body-fat are deemed "overweight." They are screened by medical personnel, and then entered into a mandatory weight-loss program. While in overweight status, sailors are ineligible for promotion, ineligible for many volunteer assignments and schools, and are not eligible to reenlist.

what's greater substantial than the dep. you're in is what you do in each and every branch. traditionally, the order from safest to maximum deadly is: a million. Air tension 2. Coast preserve 3. army 4. military 5. Marines yet, a try against Controller or Pararecueman (the two Air tension), case in point, could be in greater suitable possibility than a Water Technician Marine, because of the fact they have distinctive interest descriptions.

Well the army used to have a standard that you couldnt get in if you did'nt fit the height / weight standard. However, they might look the other way if you are borderline based on the need right now.

The US armed forces have certain limits on weight and height. I don't know what they are but I know for certain that if a person applying to join is too heavy or short he or she cannot be sworn in.

you might get in but they will beat the fat off you and it will be twice as hard for the fat kid as it is for anyone else, however they will improve his health a great deal, if they dont kill him.
