Height limits?

[Yellow Snow]

I was having my class one for flying sargeant and the nurse was taking my measurements. I'm only 6'3" but I have the arms of a gorilla. The nurse told me to stand with my back against the wall and my left fingertip in the corner and stretch my right arm so he could measure my wingspan. My fingers went completely off the scale they had on the wall. They had to get a measuring tape and calculate my reach cause I was about two inches too wide. They didn't fail you for ape arms but the extra three cm on seated height killed me for the flying sargeant job and I had to do a WOFT packet. So much for the easy route.

Oh by the way this was in 1989, I think the flying sargeant program is gone in the army and I'm certain in today's enlistment climate the medical standards have been "relaxed".
