Question about weight

[Georgia_Peach]

I am considering going into the Gaurd,and I was talking to a recruiter that informed me about the weight requirements.I am a 17 year old female,I am about 5'6 or 5'7 and I weigh 190lbs. The recruiter told me I needed to be down to about 150 or less,but if my body fat is around the right number I should be ok,if I dont meet that weight standard.My question is..when am I suposed to be down to 150lbs or less? Before I contact the recruiter and go take my Physical or before I head off to Basic Training in the summer?

Thanks in advance

Before you go to take your physical

If your body fat is to high you will not pass meps. So work on getting around the right weight now. If you are heavily muscled but low body fat you don' t need to be at the ideal weight.

i think the max now for 17 and being 5'7 is 169. dont quote me on that though.

Non prior, 17, female, 5' 6'' 146 pounds maximum 149 for 5' 7'' just a guess, but round down for height, up for pounds lol Kidding, they go by tenths for pounds
