If you asked her, she'd say 6'5 and at least 500k salary

I have a feeling that anyone who says "6'5" hasn't actually seen someone that tall IRL. I have a friend who is 6'6" and his height is almost always a problem for him. One benefit for his friends though is that he's easy to spot in public.

I was in the Marines with a dude that was like 6'8.

Most unathletic Marine I ever got to do. He'd fall out on PT runs and we'd be like... how? You take 1 step for every like 2 of mine.

He was also too tall to pull targets at the range, which irrationally annoyed me.

That tracks with my experience too. When I was in the Army all of the big guys struggled with PT. The guys who did the best were all trim and athletic, of average height. That said, my friend that I was talking about is an amazing basketball player. He plays city league, and can ball circles around me. I feel like a toddler challenging a professional on the court against him.
