    Guards height

    I want to join the Grenadier Guards as a DE officer, but slightly worried about my height.
    I am only 5'8", and the female AGC recruiter at my local office says I'm too small- is she correct?
    Thanks

    Is she talking about your cock?

    Don't worry OP, the days of having to be 6'+ to join the guards is long over, but I think that to be a member of the sovereign's company its still unoffically for the 6 footers.

    Mate,at the parade in Windsor I saw the smallest Grenadier ever who looked about five foot in ammo boots so you wouldn't be the shortest.

    Why would anyone with a chin, intelligence and testicles want to do something stupid like that? Assuming you actually have a chin, intelligence and testicles that is......

    I'm pretty sure that there's never been a height limit for Guards officers.

    Well, see .... that's the thing. The point is that we have to celebrate diversity in all it's aspects, so just because you are a little short (as in your arse is too close to the ground), it shouldn't matter as long as you are bisexual, asexual, homosexual, metrosexual, or even heterosexual (but check for positive discrimination). It probably would help if you were bl. ... er (are we allowed to say black these days on Arrse?).

    And if you are an enemy of the state and object to taking the oath of loyalty, so much the better.

    Hope this helps and good luck with it.
