DS2 has just completed a year at Harrogate AFC, there were some quite short lads there, so if there's a height minimum it's not that short. There is a minimum weight requirement though. It's 65kg iirc as DS said a few of his mates needed to gain weight, but I have no idea for Navy or RAF.

ETA:
This is an old PDF giving guidelines, the army heights sound about right given what I remember. DS had no problem with min height requirements, but was too tall for some cool driving jobs, which disappointed him a bit.
