Average Height

[saki]

so i was wondering what the average height of army members are? i know it would be hard to come to such a conclusion, but people who have been in the Canadian forces, may be able to give an idea of what the average height of members are. I ask because i am only 5'6 and i weigh 155 pounds. so i am wondering if that would play as a disatvantage for me when i go for my enrollment testing. thanks alot.

You won't be at any disadvantage, there are plenty of CF members substantially taller and shorter then you.

The best RSM I ever had was probably shorter than you.
