Am I TOO SHORT?

I smile inside every time someone plans a career around a potential waiver.
Really? You smiled when I planned my career off of a potential waiver? Thanks man, you're the best.
I think General Conway has a nice platoon of tanks you can command.
Like was said before, there are a number of threads on this topic but the main issue is not just your "standing height". For example, a girl from my unit who was about your size (sorry, not trying to be funny here, just making a useful comparison) made it through the anthro section of her physical w/o problem. She is now in API, and is a member on this board. So I wouldn't that you are certainly too small or anything.
That said, would you not want to be a Naval Aviator if you couldn't fly F/A-18's? If the answer is yes, I think you might be setting yourself up for failure, and an anthro waiver is the least of your concerns
You're a guy and you're 5'3" and 120lbs? Brother, that's like a hobbit 
Just check the NAMI website and you might find your answer. I've never seen a fighter guy as small as you but NAMI will have to determine that. There are other honorable aircraft other than the F-18 though. Especially for the Marine Corps.

Did it work out as planned? Then it's a happy, heart-warming story of an underdog who beat the odds. If not, then it's a heart-breaking story of somebody who tried to beat the system and lost, but can still slightly amuse third-parties.
How about you read the first posts on this thread...and then do as is suggested. It's really easy, I'll even give you the search word: "anthro"
Your actual height has little to do w/ whether or not you need a waiver.
I hope thats a joke.....isnt that like the 50th percentile of male height? (sitting height question aside)

GO NAVY
He's probably joking. Unless the Navy is accepting only the finest 6'1, blonde hair, blued eyed specimens to fly their jets I think you are ok.
That being said
