Rock & Roll Hall of Game Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 they told me (the army) try another branch their cut off is 35 there's a chart above that I posted. Age does matter.. Try calling one of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock & Roll Hall of Game Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 . I don't think age is an issue. why wouldn't age be an issue... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotboy06 Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 why wouldn't age be an issue... They must have changed their cutoff..most likely because of the downsizing..they were taking more people during the war. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As stated on page one.. My post... The Active Army pushed it back down to 35 in April 2011 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hit me on the other side of the board if you need anything. they were very helpful though if one branch wasn't working they gave me numbers to every other branch, I had one guy that was really on his shit and gave me a bunch of numbers and asked all the right questions.....the bottom line is I am too old at 37, you have to hit basic training before your 35th Bday to qualify. In some cases they said 28 is the cut off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In some cases they said 28 is the cut off. Oh well that's good they were helpful..because everyone is pretty much in holiday mode. I wasn't aware at how much they have changed the age requirements. Things have changed dramatically since the wars have died down. Oh well. At least you tried. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I wasn't in the best shape when I joined. So, I had to work to get to where I was. If I can make it in the Army, anyone can.

RaLpHieReBeL516 Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 I don't want to be the reason u didn't but the purpose of enlisting at 35+ is kinda pointless... Unless you're looking for young tail or the benefits (I suppose) but with you being flat footed and outta shape... Is it worth it to be in the reserves and go thru boot camp well damn game, it's kind of too late, that shouldve been the first line you wrote before all the interrogation, lol though i do agree with what you said maybe not how you said it lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
