yes you probably are too "fat" to be in the navy, but if they let you in you will loose weight and be fit. you should give it a try... your definatly not too fat to be a police officer maybe you could look into that. or you could diet and excerise and possibly you would be let in and make a woman of yourself (not saying you aren't a woman but you would probably be a tougher person) it takes a lot of heart to do something like sign up for the navy.

Yes. Unfortunately you're too fat.
The maximum allowable weight for your height - 5'6" or 66 inches - is 163 lbs. You will need to lose about 40 lbs in order to be qualified for enlistment.
However, there's also what is called the "tape test". It's a way for the Navy to determine the percentage of body fat you have. Females are allowed to have up to 33% body fat. If you meet that requirement, you can enlist even if you are over the weight limit.

honey, go in the Marines, they have bootcamp for 3 months, you won't be fat any more. At 5'6 200lbs your not fat just fluffy.

For one...
Sex doesn't matter.
They Military has a specific set of physical tests to determine whether or not the person is fit to join. If you can handle the physical and mental tests than you are pretty much a sure-fit to join.

Listen they are currently lowering standards on soldiers as long as your fit (and i use the term loosely). the navy is actually one of the loose military stations every (my science teacher is big and he was a navy man) and your not fat you've just got extra baggage
