What if you are really tall and you want to join the Royal Armoured Corps or something like that, you would not fit in the tank

I mean the The Royal Armoured Corp where you are a tank crewman. I only want to be a Para but the Sargent said i had to pick three job choices which was 1. Para 2. Had to be Infantry as i was choosing Para and 3. Royal Armoured Corp. I said to him it doesn't matter my third choice because i will get my first choice place, got to show em you want it
