*Some enlistment cards included fields for height and weight. However, sometimes these fields were used to indicate Military Occupational Specialty or other items, instead of the person's actual height and weight. Regardless of its intended purpose, the data that was entered into these fields on the cards is displayed in the height and weight fields in this database. This is because it is unknown in which cases the data was actually meant as height and weight and in which cases it was not. It is up to the researcher to determine this.
