Just checked the limit is 6’5”, I’m not quite 6’2” and 17, so looks like I’m good.

Good luck. Watch your grades and make sure to follow all the prescribed ritual to achieve your objective. One of my colleagues was prohibited from flying because he is a 6' 3", 270 lb bodybuilder. He's under 8% body fat. The problem is that the parachutes have a hard limit of 235 lb. He would have to burn off lots of lean body mass to qualify. The Winter Olympics will be hosted in hell before he agrees to that.
