There was no set weight for a military recruit. The qualification was that the guy had to be healthy. If he were too thin the army would see that he gained muscle. If he were too fat, the army would see to it that he reduced. A man's height was more important than his initial weight.

Not sure what average was, but perfect was supposed to be his height in centimeters minus 100 . So if soldier had height of 188 cm his perfect weight would be 88 kg.
