serendipityk: LOL how does a 4'6 guy get in to the army? what kind military is being run?
scam city or what?

It has to be a scam.
Don't know about other countries military but here in the USA, the minimum height requirement is 5'. This was changed from 5'2" shortly before I joined the USCG in 1978. When I was going through the initial physical exam, I had to sit for an hour while they checked the height requirement as I'm only 5'1 1/2"
Wouldn't that be nice indeed, ( dreams do come free ) I cant see it happening the scammers are on a role this week I have had at least 10 in the last days do my head in they do, they are starting to come in all shapes and sizes, I do love it when they say they have blue eyes and the pic shows clearly brown, like people 'STOP IT'

They do seem to come in waves at times. I'll get half a dozen in a couple of days and then a week will go by before getting more

Hmmm a 4'6" person can still shoot a rifle, drive a jeep, fly a fighter plane, be a mechanic....most military jobs. I am 4'11" and served in the US Army -1973-1976 and then Texas National Guard/Reserves for 7 years. I earned the M16 marksman medal, fired the bazooka, drove a tank, completed field training, and outran half of the men on our Physical Training tests....never had a complaint about not accomplishing my duties. Short people are not inept.....just can't reach the top shelf....lol and no one seemed to mind when I asked them to get something for me.
