5 feet 8 inches.

Or:

That piece of statistic is unreported.

The average height of American Males between the age of 20 and 29 is 5 feet 10 inches.

The average height of American Women between the age of 20 and 29 is 5 feet 4 1/2 inches.

About five percent of all Marine officers are Women and 95% are male.

The assumption should be made that Marines represent average Americans.

That would work out to an average of 5 foot 8.08333 inches. Which fails to take into effect the Napoleonic Complex or Brute (Krulak) effect which postulates that individuals with limited physical stature elect the greater challenge. The Amazonian Effect, Goliath Effect and other factors also effected potential Officer Selection.
