Actualy its for my uncle. they denied him to be a marine but my grandma doesnt know why.. hes not even 42 years old. hes still in his mid 30's. Maybe he didnt pass the asvab test.

I found it:

Looks to be 35 for Regular or Reserve.
Click on PDF Link and when it opens search for "age limit". ( use the binocular button in the PDF viewer )
The above document references US Code Title 10 in regard to age. The following link is to the pertinent section of US Code Title 10, that is US Code Title 10; Subtitle A; Part II; Chapter 31; Section 505(a): http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/getdoc.cgi?dbname=browse_usc&docid=Cite:+10USC505 which states in part, "The Secretary concerned may accept original enlistments in the Regular Army, Regular Navy, Regular Air Force, Regular Marine Corps, or Regular Coast Guard, as the case may be, of qualified, effective, and able-bodied persons who are not less than seventeen years of age nor
more than thirty-five years of age..."
Hope this helped. Semper Fi

For the marines, I think it's about 30. He can join the army if he wants. The army is the only branch that really needs people, so it keeps lowering its standards and expectations.

Back in 2002 it was 31, but with all the wars we are in now last I heard from a RECURITER the age limit was 35. Yes he did try to get me back in.
