im not 100% though.

Answer 3

At 91 Lbs and 62", you are right at the bare minimum.

Your Max Shipping Weight is 156, Minimum is 98, but it can be waived down to 88.  

This is as per the recruiting manual the Navy Recruiter uses.

COMNAVCRUITCOMINST 1130.8F

As per  OPNAVINST 6110.1G -  at 62" your max is 149 Lbs., Min is 98 and still waivered down to 88.

OPNAVINST is a manual for Active members - as the Navy uses different regulations for Enlistment Entry and another regulation for Active Members.    

In the Air Force, your Max is 150 and Minimum is 104.  Again, can be waived by Air Force Education & Training Command.

Eat ! put a few more pounds on.
