is there any height/weight limit to join the military?
US army or navy nurse specifically? i ask because i have a friend in Spain who is in the Spanish military and they have height minimums, independent of what you do once in , does America have anything similar?? i want to join once i graduate with my four year degree in nursing (only 2 left), i'm 5'1 100lbs, but i thought that wouldn't be a problem since i want to nurse, not a combat medic. i decided to join once i was a RN because i know that you don't enter basic boot camp (checked many times that's definite) but i was surprised when this guy laughed at me because of my size

I'm pretty sure you can join military service with your height and weight. There are height/weight requirements but I don't think your's fall below the requirement. If you finish your RN degree, you'll be an Officer Nurse. And you're right, you won't need to go to basic training because you can get a direct Commission.

You are fine. i have seen girls who weighed 90 pounds and were less than five feet tall to join. they had a problem carrying their sea bag but they graduated from basic training. I am only enlisted (corpsman) but I know a few new ensigns who were about your weight/height that just got in. Just keep up with your cardio so you can pass your biannual physical readiness test (run/bike, push-ups, sit-ups) and get in touch with a recruiter well ahead graduation. Navy is downsizing and they are getting pickier with who they get in.
