I had a similar experience in the Army. I actually got a medical height waiver but was limited in what I could do because I was too tall.

Airborne was right out.

And for clarity, at almost 300lbs, I have visible abs. I’m just really tall to the point I scare people.

My wife is over six feet and my daughters are giants, too.

Limited their dating ability, despite being beautiful. Boys were too embarrassed and/or scared. One was the prom queen and the king, a good sized football player was about a head shorter when she had on heels.

The Fred Meyer in Pocatello has one employee who is 6 ft 8 in. Easy access to the top shelves :-) The tallest person I've encountered came from the University of Madison (WI). We crossed paths annually at UseNIX. He was 7 ft 4 in. Last name was Rasmussen.

My two youngest sons are 6 ft 2.5 in in socks. I topped out at 6 ft 3/8 in at age 12. Time has stolen an inch.

Tall girls do have a challenge finding dates/mates. The tallest girl in my high school class was 6 ft 3 in. She had a frequent dating schedule with one of the basketball players who was taller.
