Shipping weight for basic

[IowaBoy171]

I tried searching the forums but nothing came up. I leave on Tuesday and I thought I was at the weight requirements but now I am reading different things. I was measured at 72.5 inches and weight between 214 and 215. I was wondering what my weight needs to be at in order to ship and not be stripped of my mos. My recruiter said they round up and my weight would be 73 inches and that I would need to weight 219 and if I was at 72 inches I need to be at 213?? I also have another buddy who wants to know what his weight needs to be at before he ships and I can't find a chart anymore except for the dep ones and the one for when you are already in the fleet. Thanks alot

My advice would be to make sure you weigh under 213 so that way there is no way they can deny you and you won't have to worry about any charts. You can lose a few pounds by tuesday easy.

Ok, I just wasn't sure because I read in a chart that 72 inches had to be at 208. So I am just not sure which one it was.

That's why I'm dropping to 135 before I ship, my max is 150 as far as I know but I don't want to risk it.

Ok well since it seems that you don't really know which # it is, just find the lowest one and weigh less than that. That way nothing can happen.

Alright I figured it out. 73 inches = 219. Thanks for the help anyway.
