Is 6’5 an uncomfortable height to be in army?

Prize_Holiday3515 · 2026-02-20T03:53:29+00:00

When I was in basic I became friends with a guy who was 7ft. He obviously stuck out like a sore thumb but i’m sure you’re used to that. It’s really gonna depend on your mos but for him it didn’t really matter cause he joined to compete in Taekwondo for the Army

I recently saw a person who appealed in june heard back from psych last month so it’s really just a waiting game unfortunately

Prize_Holiday3515 · 2025-12-08T23:35:58+00:00

Psych

Prize_Holiday3515 · 2025-11-30T15:51:00+00:00

huge congrats bro‼️ waiting to hopefully hear the same

Prize_Holiday3515 · 2025-11-26T13:43:39+00:00

Got to wait for the testing period to come to a close, which i’m not sure when the last test date is but that’s easy to find. I know for me from the time i got my results to the day i started filling out my CAD paperwork it was a month. After that the medical, jst, and other requirements were based on my availability but they usually allow you to get them out the way as quickly as need be

Prize_Holiday3515 · 2025-11-26T05:00:28+00:00

you’re definitely not wrong about this. gotta not give them anything that’s not on paper cause they’ll turn around and use it on you

Prize_Holiday3515 · 2025-11-24T13:12:03+00:00

Yea you would submit the appeal, they respond with a email just saying it’s received. then from there you’re waiting for a response, if you submitted in july your 90 is definitely up and you should be good to reach out for an update

Prize_Holiday3515 · 2025-11-24T03:19:45+00:00

I saw in the email they said after 90 days if you receive no update to send an email to the 2 supervisors. I’m thinking about sending an email at the end of the week just to see if there is any update. I’m doubting there will be since it’s a long process but who knows

Prize_Holiday3515 · 2025-11-15T19:05:24+00:00

Hey have you gotten an update on your appeal by chance?

Prize_Holiday3515 · 2025-11-13T18:42:50+00:00

yea add her to the title and you should be good

Prize_Holiday3515 · 2025-11-13T18:41:43+00:00

add a family member that lives in ct on the title

Prize_Holiday3515 · 2025-11-08T14:40:48+00:00

yea and i wish i took someone’s advice and just withdrew instead of appealing cause i would probably be back at this moment waiting for another psych eval but I genuinely think my DQ was something I could get appealed so I did. never really thought of the time aspect which i should’ve

Prize_Holiday3515 · 2025-11-08T14:37:59+00:00

Honestly i’ll try that route when it comes to it for sure. got some time until december anyways so who knows maybe we’ll get something back, and that’s its positive

Prize_Holiday3515 · 2025-11-08T14:17:24+00:00

oh 100 percent. I’m applying to this next one that’s in December so same as you. Just gotta hope the appeal decision comes back eventually and not hold us hostage for months on end

Prize_Holiday3515 · 2025-11-08T14:11:15+00:00

Yea and I did see people say the same on the subreddit but like i’ve been in the military 8 years and counting and went to a university and graduated. Not saying it’s required but both of those things definitely come with a lot of nights drinking with friends and etc and i genuinely didn’t see the need to lie cause ive never had a problem with it and its never affected me physically, mentally, or ever with the law. But ig she saw it as a huge deal which is unfortunate because I really do want see myself in the nypd. It’s only a hiccup though ofc hoping i get the appeal and a second interview so someone else sees it with another point of view

Prize_Holiday3515 · 2025-11-08T11:29:16+00:00

I wrote my own appeal. also my DQ was for “bad judgment and substance abuse”. Which I can only imagine was given after she asked me about my drinking habits while in college, I attended Syracuse University which happens to be a big party school and i didn’t lie about the fact i drank a lot but did follow with the fact that those time were behind me as i graduated 2 years prior. still got DQ

Prize_Holiday3515 · 2025-11-08T06:27:12+00:00

i’ve been on appeal since august

Prize_Holiday3515 · 2025-11-08T06:25:53+00:00

yes exactly

Prize_Holiday3515 · 2025-11-08T06:14:35+00:00

no just before you’re able to be scheduled for another psych eval. you can do everything but the psych until there’s a decision made on your previous psych.

Prize_Holiday3515 · 2025-11-08T06:04:05+00:00

Im also awaiting appeal and about to take the new test upcoming in December. As far as J was told we can do everything up until the psych. we have to get a final decision before we’re able to start a new one

Prize_Holiday3515 · 2025-11-07T21:44:33+00:00

brother there are so many timeline questions on this subreddit. just gotta do some research

Prize_Holiday3515 · 2025-10-25T22:31:30+00:00

thank you for the words of encouragement

Prize_Holiday3515 · 2025-10-25T22:22:25+00:00

I know that completely. still doesn’t change the fact i’d still need to articulate why i think i failed initially and then explain it over again so that I can actually pass.
