US forces minmimum height was five feet, four inches, and 130 pounds. In other words, just about any adult was acceptable, provided he had resonable medical health and no obvious defects in eye sight, heart or lungs. For special groups, such as pilots, and underwater divers, the medical was a lot more strict.
