They do have height requirements in the sense that they use such standardized equipment that you cant be either extremely tall or short and still serve. Like you cant be in the navy if you cant fit in the beds on a ship, which is logical. However that same person might be able to fit in somewhere outside the navy depending on how tall they are. But if youre 7 ft tall you probably just cant serve, as youre too tall not to be a liability in some way pretty much everywhere.

That said, Im not aware of anyone whos height significantly fluctuates (outside of normal everyday fluctuations) on a month to month basis
