Academy.? Will my weight affect my attempts to get int o the Academy even if I qualify for the academic and athletics?

[~~NaYnAy~~HoNeY?]

show 'em wut u got nd then let them decide. u neva know untill u try. nd dont take no for an answer. be pushy and they will know u mean buisness

[Berries]

What do u mean naturally?
Like your curvy and big boned?
Well if your in shape and you qualify... i don't see why they wouldn't let you.
Everyone has dif types of body but if you qualify i don't see what's the big problem.
You don't have to be "skinny" to enter in the U.S Coast Guard Academy. Just cuz a girl is skinny it doesn't mean she's in shape!

Good luck!

YES!
If you don't make weight, they will not let you in. period. we had a girl kicked our of our company and that was one week from graduation, all becasue she was overweigh. They take that kind of thing very seriously in the Coast guard, and even more so when it comes to officers.

Possibly, depending on how heavy you are. It'd be best to ask your recruiter, and if he doesn't know, ask him where to find out weight requirements for your height.
