    Height and Weight question

    Which weight standard would you go off of if between two heights?

    I am 71 1/2 in. So would mine be 207 or 197?

    well i measured in at MEPs at 5'7 7/8" and guess what they put me down as 5'7" so meant i had to work on loosing more weight, besides its always a safer bet to set higher goals for yourself so go for less then 197

    I would go with 197 just to be safe. You wouldn't want to show up and be the fat body because you went with the wrong weight.

    I was measured at MEPs and I measured in at 5'3" 1/2 they put me as 5'4" I guess it is depending on their mood lol.

    Go with the lower weight to be safe, for me when I was active duty, they rounded up to try to help me out but only because I knew the guys.

    In the fleet they round up. Meps rounds down, thats how it was for me in any case. I'm 6'4 and a half but my unit has me as 77", I can straight up get huge haha, I think my max weight is like 238? lol. Ridiculous.

    Are you sure about that?

    I think you need to do your homework a little better.

    MCO 6110.3 dated Aug 2008 say's your max is 197.

    I talked to my recruiter and he said i got measured at 72 at MEPS so my max is 207.

    Good but still try to lose the weight. I went down to MEPS on the border of 225 which was my max, and they rounded down for me.
