How tall do you have to be for the airforce?

Question

after high school im planning to join the millitary and i heard ppl saying that airforce is the easiest one out of all but you have to be tall for it so i just wanted to know how tall..

Answer 1

You have to be a minimum of 58 inches (four feet ten inches).

Answer 2

5 feet

Answer 3

I was in the army but I am 59 inches tall and had no problems joining, I've seen lots of girl in the AF during my tour in Iraq that were just as short as me and shorter.  I've also seen guys around the same height of me.  I have heard that if you a member of certain ethic groups (mostly asians) there are special waivers for them.  Not sure if that was true or not, but worth researching.

Answer 4

The Answer is no; you do not have to be tall to get into the USAF. You need to meet your weight requirement corresponding to how tall you are.  You pretty much need to be proportionate. Can't be too fat, can't be too skinny.
