When I was in I was 5' 8.5" and weighed somewhere in the 170-180 range when I ETS'd... dependent on what was going on... I went to basic at 145# I have lost about a half inch in height and am sitting right at 190ish lbs as of this morning... at my heaviest after getting out I was at 225... I still lift and carry more than the young kids at work.
Body size is not the biggest issue in SF, heart is... I've seen big guys wimp out where little guys just keep trucking. There is a physiology issue with women in the Combat arms... muscle density and mass ... plonk a 125# ruck on and haul ass for 20-30km in the mountains... I used to carry my own bodyweight and more ...
