Lutrell's height several times in the book (I think he was 6'5")


He's tall but I don't think that tall. Btw, I have no clue how he made it through BUD/S with his size. Them tall frickers going through catch the most hell because all the weight usually falls on them.

CC from SPS is a tall fella too. He's about my height but as big as a refrigerator. The kid is huge.

pretty sure he is 6'5" and.. yeah... being that tall - not only makes it harder but you are also a common target...


I saw a group from 6 at belle chasse when I was still in reserves and it was comical because by and large - they were mostly 6 foot and below.

saw gunners were the big guys.

I just start re-reading Lone Survivor last night, in anticipation of seeing the movie. Early in the book, p. 43 to be exact, he's discussing his twin brother and says, "He's about seven minutes older than I am, and around the same size (six feet five inches, 230 pounds)."

There is also a picture of him in the Oval Office with his parents and George W. Bush. Marcus appears to be a good bit taller than Dubya, who I think is over six feet.
