The natural waist measurements will be taken on bare skin, at point of minimal abdominal circumference, usually located about halfway between the navel and the lower end of the breastbone (sternum) with the arms down to the sides. Round neck measurement up to the nearest ½ inch and record (for example, round 13¼ inches to 13½ inches). Stand up straight! Ensure the measuring tape is as close to horizontal as anatomically feasible (the tape line in the front of the neck should be at the same height as the tape line in the back of the neck). The person being measured must be looking straight ahead with shoulders down and relaxed. Do not place the tape measure over the larynx. The neck measurement will be taken on bare skin, at the point just below the larynx and perpendicular to the long axis of the neck. Recruiters are strictly prohibited from taking measurements from those of the opposite sex. The only measurement that counts for enlistment is the one that is completed during your visits to the Military Entrance Processing Station (MEPS).
The measurement completed by the recruiter IS NOT an official measurement.
