Im 17 and i weigh 120lbs, is that going to hurt me at MEPS

Question

im 5'6'' i want to know the exact weight i have to be to pass i dont want anything to go wrong

Answer 1

This question has been answered but I thought I would put my 2 cents in. No it will not bother you. I was 5 foot 7 and I only weighed 100lbs and had no issues. I think I had to get a waiver but that was not a big deal either. The other BS about you needing to gain weight is just that BS. I weighed 100 lbs when I joined. After Navy boot camp I put on 15 lbs. When I got out of the Navy after 4 years I weighed 135. But after I turned 25 my metabolism stopped and I went from 135 to 175 in about a year. Now at 36 I am trying to loose weight because my frame can not support the extra weight. DO NOT TRY AND GAIN WEIGHT NOW. Stay healthy and work out and eat right and you will be fine.

Answer 2

It depends on your height.. I was almost too thin as well at 6'1" I only weighed 135 pounds when I enlisted I was 1 pound over the minimum for my height.  So I relly need to know how tall you are and I can consult my army reg.

Answer 3

it will if u r underweight. take some weightgainer and see a dr. but if u r shorter, u should be ok. good luck! :)

Answer 4

no you will be fine,just try to gain a couple pounds just to be on the safe side.

Answer 5

The weight limits are based on height, so we'd have to know that.

Answer 6

What is wrong with you?

There are minimum weight guidelines based on your height, and I'm not sure if it is an immediate disqualification...but it will get your case looked into more. You may have to spend more time with the doctor and/or see a nutritionist. Seriously though...Weight-gainer.

no it won't hurt you if you'r like 5ft.4in.but ince you're 2in. taller that might be a promblem, but i'm not completely sure . but if you're taller you should talk to doctor. and you might need shots,also eat junk food(not to much you don't want to get fat.)
