Height and Weight Standards for the United States Navy
Applicants required to attend Recruit Training Command but who exceed Navy physical readiness standards (Male 22% - Female 33%) may enter the Delayed Entry Program (DEP) and ship to RTC provided their body fat content does not exceed 25% for males and 36% for females. Applicants must pass the Initial Fitness Assessment (IFA) while in DEP prior to their ship date. If the applicant cannot pass the IFA prior to their ship date the applicant may be subject to discharge from DEP. If the applicant reports to RTC in excess of the new accession body fat standards or fails the initial RTC Physical Fitness Assessment the applicant could be subject to Entry Level Separation from the Navy. Applicants must achieve retention body fat standards in order to graduate from RTC.
Applicants not required to attend Recruit Training Command (RTC) who do not meet the Navy weight standard for their height will be measured for body fat percentage. Male applicants measured at 22 percent body fat or less (23% for male applicants 40 years of age or older) may transfer to TPU Great Lakes regardless of their weight. Female applicants measured at 33 percent body fat or less (34% for female applicants 40 years of age or older) may transfer to TPU Great Lakes regardless of their weight.
All body fat measurements are performed according to the instructions contained in OPNAV Instruction 6110.1H - PHYSICAL READINESS PROGRAM
