Air Force careers are often physically demanding. Each begins with military training—either Basic Military Training (BMT) or Officer Training School (OTS)—both of which are very physically challenging. Therefore, applicants must be in good health.

Your health will be fully evaluated by a doctor at the Military Entrance Processing Station (MEPS). During your physical exam, you will have blood and urinalysis as well as hearing, eye and range-of-motion tests. Note that if you have a health condition and still wish to join the Air Force, your recruiter can help you consider the general guidelines for medical conditions and your eligibility for entrance.

If you are accepted into the Air Force, and if you are cleared for vigorous exercise by your physician, it may be helpful to undertake a fitness regimen such as is found in our guide to preparing for military training (PDF). It is recommended that you work out three to five times per week for 14 weeks if time permits. Be sure to start your regimen a minimum of six weeks before you are scheduled to depart for military training.

Since Air Force careers are often physically demanding, we maintain strict height and weight requirements. If you have attained full-grown height and are too short or too tall to meet our requirements, there is no possible recourse. You can, however, manage your weight to meet our requirements.

For pilot and aircrew positions, height specifications vary by aircraft. Those significantly taller or shorter than average may require special screening to ensure they can safely perform operational duties.

Note that applicants must be a minimum of five pounds under their max weight. If the maximum weight for your height is 190 pounds, you must be 185 pounds or less. If an applicant is within five pounds of the maximum weight or over their maximum weight and has a muscular build, they may be authorized to apply.
