There are no minimum Height or weight resrictions for the military in general only on certain MOS's {Military Occupation of Service}. Remember Dynamite comes in small packages.

When I first joined the Army I was told that I had to be at least 4'11'' otherwise I would need a height waiver to join. But luckily I'm 5 feet even so I didn't need the height waiver. But I can see why they have a height restriction because their are a lot of things I do for the army and have a hard time doing it because if my height. You're taller then me so just go for it!!

I found the height requirement for women to enter Navy ROTC:
Height--Women:
Navy 60-78 inches
Marines 58-78 inches
Weight--Proportionate to height. 1
Beyond that I couldn't find anything. Phone a recruiter I'm sure they will be happy to answer your question. For enlisted men it used to be 60 inches. The USAF height/weight chart goes down to 58 inches.

No, it isn't. Im 5'3" and I'm enrolling for the USAFA next summer, but there are some things I dont think you can do like being a pilot, but Im not sure. Look at the physical requirements for your specific branch of military.

I'm 5'2" and I was 105lbs out of boot camp (entered as 110lbs)
There are no restrictions as to height for entering the military in general, only certain jobs such as fighter pilot

ask the recuiter, they will have a chart. You must be within the reguations though. It is possible to be too fat or too skinny

its not just because you're a girl. some mos's have height requierments example being someone 6'5" isn't going to fit in a tank.
