The DRDC recommendation is that crew of the Herc's should be 5'7" minimum.

dogger1936 said:I'm 5' 6" in the armd corp and have been a tank commander as well as a patrol commander and a troop warrant. I always looked at my size as a personal disability and used that to be the fastest and strongest I could. Never fall into the B/S of I cant keep up cause my legs are short camp. Be faster and stronger and lead the troops. Gone are the days of lead by fear, lead by example and show the troops how competent you are. Show them your knowledge base, and show em you 5 foot nothing of killing and meanness.

After my morning plan went to hell because snakes do not exhibit timely bathroom habits, I got my application package and spoke with a Sgt. at the recruiting centre. Infantry is closed (no big suprises there), but some others in combat arms are (at the moment) In order: Amoured Crew, Artillery, Combat Engineer. *EDIT* Yes, being 34 it is time to do this before I get too old. Let's hope I still have the required amounts of piss & vinegar...
If you will kindly excuse me, I have a pile of papers to fill out and my afternoon pt.
Thanks again to the forum, this place has been an invaluable source of information and laughs....

I cannot find anything restricting a potential recruit's height.
Get ready to laugh: I'm 5'2"... could I pass the BMQ? I'd do it this second.
Clearly my height would make me unsuitable for a number of jobs, Whereas being of smaller stature might actually be a plus in some jobs.
Feedback?
