    "EITS - Thats a common answer when I tell that story.  There were lots of offers to get the individual BLOCK so She could reach the pedals. " This thread has focused on how tall is "too tall"... so I have to ask, what is too short? (I'm 5'3", all legs...am I ok, or doomed?)

    My Experience

    The recruiting center told me that positions are made available every April, so you may not have too long to wait until they accept a new round of applicants.
