    Hi and thank you for your question.

    If you're looking to join the Army, you'll be expected to meet the following scores:

    Over 18: BMI = 18 - 28
    16 & 17: BMI = 17 - 27
    You might still be able to join if you are:
    Male over 18 with a BMI between 28 and 32
    Female over 18 with a BMI between 28 and 30
    It could still be possible to join the Army, following extra assessments.

    With regards to height, there isn’t a minimum as such I don’t think,

    How tall are you?

    Regards

    Yes absolutely! All roles are open to Male and female. Some limit role like royal military police have a minimum age of 17.5 I believe but apart from that, yes.

    Do you have a job role in mind yet?

    If you joined before your 17th birthday, you would go to AFC Harrogate with your parental/guardians consent. Anything after 17, you would go as an adult entry and either go to pirbright/Winchester or the infantry training centre if you intended on joining the infantry. You would still need parental consent until your 18th birthday
