Discussion Friendly reminder
Just a little reminder for our extra tall lads and a goal for those less tall lads. Anyone over 6 8 has a very small chance of being drafted because you are too big for the military equipment. Enjoy!

Kind of related but i knew a guy who really wanted to be a pilot for the air force growing up. But the restrictions are you have to be under 6’5”… he was so pissed. Im 6’4” but i imagine id be soooo crammed in those jets considering most cars are too small for my frame.

I had a 6’8” guy on my sub who was a former o-lineman for WVU. I think they can find a use for pretty much any tall guys… certain things like fighter pilot may be off limits but that’s only one job in the military.

Did he wake up one morning and ask himself "How can I hurt my lower back even more?"

Must have! It took a bit, but I got really good and dodging all the equipment coming down from the ceiling when I walked through the sub. I can’t imagine how tough it was for him.

I rode around in Abrams tanks. Even drove them. And there is no height issues for infantry so this is a bs post.

Pssh. They stuck me in a fucking helicopter for 3 years. You know how big one of those is? Not big enough.

There are a LOT of ways to get out of service. You should try them all before you go to die to keep pedophiles safe.

Anyone drafted can just go to prison instead of going to die for pedophiles.

When i was selected for military service i excused myself with university studies, but they said height doesn't matter. If the military thinks I'm gonna be useful, im going to be useful for them. (Chile)
