The height requirement for the USAF pilots is 64″-77″ (5’4″-6′-5″) standing, sitting it is 33″-40″ (2’9″-3’4″). So you have some room to grow. The link provided will show you the rest of the medical requirements.

Cheez_Mastah, the Air force has been known to give waivers more for the cargo pilots than anything else, but unfortunatly I cannpt give you an accurate estimate of the times they do give them out. The standards for those guys are more flexible simply because they have more room to move in the cockpit. The vision part the Air Force really won’t move that much on, if the vision problem is correctable it is possible to get a waiver. Fighter pilots on the other hand, all of the standards listed are negotiable. They have limited space to move and their bodies are under immense stress from the force, so they have to fall under the height standard and they cannot wear contacts.
