Hmmmm, when I registered for the draft during the VN war I was listed as 5-8, 110 (fully clothed). I asked about the limit and the guy said '4 pounds lighter and you'd be 4F. But we'd have to check you for weight loss drugs.'
I said: 'No drugs. It's called lack of food.'

So, I know there's a 'too light' limit. I wonder what the 'too fat' limit is these days. The young folks today might have some issues with that.

I played Baseball in Japan with a black guy nicknamed "Popcorn" A lot better than Biden's fiction Corn Pop.

Popcorn was 6'5" tall. "If the restricted height is 6"-4" How did you get in?" "Bent my knees."
