That's right about where Dad was when he went into the service in the mid
1940's. I bet that described half of the enlisted men (18 year olds) at
boot camp that year - 1946.

Half? I doubt that. Even by the BMI standards (which I feel set
inappropriately low standards for taller people), that would be a surprising
number of people.

In any case, 18 year-olds are not fully grown men (or women). Many still
have a fair amount of "filling out" to do, with respect to adding muscle
mass (and a little fat, or a lot if they aren't eating right and
exercising). I was 40 pounds lighter when I was 18 than I am now. Only
about half of that is weight I consider "extra".
