When and if you do not make your target weight then they will tape your neck and abdomen. Age will depend on what body fat % you are allowed to have. 1LT Private RallyPoint Member Mon, 04 Nov 2019 02:57:35 -0500 2019-11-04T02:57:35-05:00 Response by MAJ Private RallyPoint Member made Nov 4 at 2019 9:15 AM https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/to-go-to-ocs-with-the-national-guard-do-you-have-to-meet-the-strict-height-weight-standards-or-can-you-go-if-you-pass-the-tape-test?n=5199976&urlhash=5199976 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>You would be taped if over the HT/WT standards. Max is 24% unless you’re in the 40 and over crowd.
