Hi everyone,
I am seriously considering joining the Air Force but I have a crazy question. How strict are they on the weight requirement? I am about 7 lbs away from meeting it but wasn't sure how strict they were. Thanks!
it is neck and waist -- I think and it is x3. However the guy who did mine measured once and wrote it down three times.
It's only your waist measurement for the Air Force (once you're in - I was only waist measured at MEPS under AF standards but you get all sorts of people who obviously have no clue). And you need to ensure it's measured the three times because they take the average.
I can't stand it when people at MEPS just don't do their job. Sorry that happened to you.

Ha ... height is one area where I cannot afford to lose any numbers!! At 4'11" I'm only an inch over the minimum requirement to commission!
I'm curious to see where my height is measured, because I'm close to 5'0" but not quite there.
