Army Height Weight Charts
The Army military Nurse minimum and maximum weight is determined based on age
The Army military Nurse minimum and maximum weight is determined based on age, sex, height and if you have been in the military prior to being commissioned or joining. Maximum allowable body fat is calculated using a formula that takes into account age, height, and selected measurements of the body.
These Army height and weight charts are applicable to all army ranks and jobs including army nurses. Navy, Air Force, Public Health Service and Coast Guard Nurses must meet height and weight standards for their respective services.
