The below answer is a best guess scenario. In truth, your height plays no factor in the length of an NCO sword. When determining the length of your sword you need to factor in the distance it would take to level the tip of the sword with your eyes when at Carry Sword. To do this simply:
1) Stand at a modified Attention with you right hand fully extended so the fingers are straight along you leg.
2) Have someone else measure direct from the "V" formed between the thumb and the index finger to the right eye.
3) Subtract 3" from the measurement you just got.
This is not an exact measurement either, but it is a bit more of a best guess than simply going off of your height. Arm length varies as much as height does, so this is a major factor. When going to Parade Rest the angle of the sword is modified so the tip is touching the deck.
If you want an actual size that is for you, it is best to simply go and get yourself sized for the appropriately lengthened sword, otherwise any method of measuring the length of it could result in wasted effort and money.
