Just got CHL...they put the wrong height :/

#1

Post by RS-DRAW »

So I just got my CHL. It took a brief 2 weeks after class. Awesome.
But I noticed the height is off on my CHL by 1" as compared to my TDL.
I'm 5'11" on my driver license, but the CHL they just sent says 5'10".
That's just one of those thing I would not write down wrong. Seems an easy mistake to make if they're using then number pad on a keyboard to enter our data. This happen to anyone else?
Is it even something I should make a fuss about?

I wouldn't worry about it. Many people who are 5'11" say they are six foot. :lol:

Welcome to the forum.

I've never heard of a LEO worrying about the height on a CHL or driver license unless some 12 year old was trying to drive on a "borrowed" license.

Also with the photos being used for 10 years now, men have gone bald and grown beards since their last photo.

As for weight, don't get me started ... :smilelol5:

On Mars you would weigh about 100 pounds. (You could probably launch yourself into orbit around the newly discovered moon of Pluto.)

Actually everyone else in the world. We're the only ones left using pounds.

The British would call it 19 stone.

Whereas that is true, as I've gotten older I've actually "compressed" an inch. So if the same error was made on my CHL there would now be a 2" difference.

I only wish that they had made an error in my weight -- like about 80lbs worth!

I remember when the U.S. was going to convert to metric. Back when Jimmy Carter was president. :shock:

The U.S. has been officially metric 1866. It just never caught on.

I had been thinking that Congress adopted the metric system in the 1790s. Several people pushed for it, but Congress moves at its own rate.

At least we pretty much got away from drams, rods, chains, fathoms, and the like, except for some specialties.

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea sounds much better than 111,120 kilometers. :mrgreen:
