Hi and thank you for your question.
If you're looking to join the Army, you'll be expected to meet the following scores:
Over 18: BMI = 18 - 28
16 & 17: BMI = 17 - 27
You might still be able to join if you are:
Male over 18 with a BMI between 28 and 32
Female over 18 with a BMI between 28 and 30
It could still be possible to join the Army, following extra assessments.
With regards to height, there isn’t a minimum as such I don’t think,
How tall are you?
Regards

Yes absolutely! All roles are open to Male and female. Some limit role like royal military police have a minimum age of 17.5 I believe but apart from that, yes.
Do you have a job role in mind yet?
If you joined before your 17th birthday, you would go to AFC Harrogate with your parental/guardians consent. Anything after 17, you would go as an adult entry and either go to pirbright/Winchester or the infantry training centre if you intended on joining the infantry. You would still need parental consent until your 18th birthday
