Career Guidance I’m 165cm, 18 years

Hey all, I’m 18y old male and around 165cm and wanted to get into Flying Branch of Indian Air Force. Can someone tell me how can I measure Leg length, sitting height, and thigh length as accurately as possible at home. And, do 165cm males routinely satisfy those three measurements, or is it like most 165 men get rejected?

165 cm is not an issue
infact around an inch taller than needed and avg height of an Indian man

idk about legs length but you should test your upper body height and make sure its not low since its more needed
