Grab them by the their testicles and squeeze hard. No guy can breathe through that. :cry:
I was about to say... wait, have you tried stabbing them or hitting them with your gun in the balls? That could also work. It could even become a new cliche for the movies! :D

Wow, a 4'10" little ass-kicker smashing dudes in the head with a rifle butt. That's awesome :D

SHHHHH!

Actually, it's usually the short people that make it far in the special forces. Something about a +1 size bonus to AC or something.

Don't know whether to praise or criticize you for being able to make a Special Forces reference in a geeky perspective.

5' minimum, 1" waver. I know someone who made up 1/4" that way, not sure how you made up a full inch.

I'm suprised you knew enough about US Naval Special Forces programs to know about the specs and the waiver, but not enough to know that waivers mean only as much or as little as the brass that signs them. If a 350 lb chief can get a waiver for the PRT run twice a year for 20 years straight, you can get a waiver for anything.

I'm the son of a 4' 10 3/4" Retired Commander. (She retired a bit over 10 years ago) The policy for waivers, on the other hand, is not something I know much about.

I think I do remember reading the Navy Times about that 350lb chief. If I remember right, he was also fairly tall so 350 wasn't as much overweight as it would be for some of us. Then again, I've heard stories about guys who are measured as overweight/too much fat but are so muscular they break the system (annoying neck measurement). The chief wasn't one of those, though.

*edit*

*blinks* wait a sec...

Ya know, it's generally a really bad idea to refer to someone who can feed you your nuts as a halfling.
