DP is 5’11” and weighed about 118 when he joined the Air Force in 1982. Bill’s got the thin build, too, but I think he’s going to be several inches taller.
Darksheare was in the Army even though he’s lightly built; it can be an advantage.

I’d like to see him stay in, mostly because of the medical, but I don’t have too much influence with him, these days.
I don’t think a man can be judged on his height. I’ve seen a lot of smaller men who loomed larger than life, and big ones who were small and mean.
It’s what they learn at their mother’s knee that counts.
I was a 13B, was my gun section advanced party man.
Being short and skinny had several advantages for me.
Mainly, nobody ever saw me walking through on my area sweep.
