My height is 5,5 and getting scared now that I would be too short to be an SNA/NFO?

you would be perfect for submarines!
Then go measure yourself. There is Navy publications on how to do this. Get your recruiter to do it. I know pilots who are as tall as you. One is shorter at 5'3".

i did the measurement, and im borderline passing on all the measurements literally tenths of inch on some of them. if the doctor measures it a little differently I would not pass. If im barely off by less than half an inch would i still get in? Man I wish I was taller.

Making Recruiting Great Again
You know what? DONT apply. It's looking obvious here that you're not ready to apply or join the ranks.

Only time will tell.
yeah, at 5'10" (not tall by any means), I was within a half inch or so from being DQ'd from EA-6B's based on my sitting height/torso length. Meanwhile multiple 6'+ friends had no such concerns.

My butt to knee length is about 20 in if not right under it which is code 0 or less, would this disqualify me from being an NFO period from all aircraft? All my other measurements are code 5 or 6 like sitting height and reach, so i should be good on those but my BKL, as an NFO, it didn't say "exclude" on the page for BKL measurements so I'm confused. I don't want to get to NAMI and be told I gotta go SWO and I just wasted my time at OCS

I am 5"9', anything wrong with my height?
Yeah, you are either way too tall or way too short to even be in the Navy.

Damn, I'm about to be 6 feet tall hoping to become a pilot, I guess I'll have to find some other thing to do...

I just realized I put the symbols in the wrong place, how dumb of me...
Bro. Passing is passing even if by 1/10th of an inch. If you want to do something then do it. In the end you will not know if your qualified until you apply and go through the process. ITS FREE TO APPLY
With all due respect, you won't know until you go to MEPs or a recruiter measure you. Also... Where there is a will there is a waiver. So if youre a nut hair away from making the height requirement then they may qualify you. You don't know. Also, OCS isn't an experience that is a waste of time. 1) You challenge yourself and grow 2) You decide if the military is for you or not... Looking at experiences as a "waste of time" causes you to resent, regret, and develop a bad attitude. Lastly, you are given the option to separate at OCS if DQed from aviation.
What are you talking about? You're 5'9" and you're about to be 6 ft? What are you 14? No there is nothing wrong with being 5'9" or 6 ft. Several pilots are these heights. I am 5'9" and fully qualed.
It was a joke, take another look at how he wrote his height.
