Not much more but if you think about the range of ages to join normally is 18-25 so add 20 years or more to that and you have the upper end. I think they are trying to get a good 8 years out of a 42 year old.
I was enlisted in the USAF from 19-26. I recently graduated with a bachelors degree and I looked into becomming a officer and they told me 35 was the limit, I was 34 at the time but the next class to go through would be after I turned 35, so I am not sure all services are at the 42 year age limit.

i became attempting to make certain that out myself at the same time as it became exceeded. some service individuals can get waivers to stay in longer yet those have a tendency to be clinical workers. the basically aspect that i might want to propose you to do is to get a 4 3 hundred and sixty 5 days degree in nursing and turn to clinical for you to stay in. in case you've already got a 4 3 hundred and sixty 5 days degree, some colleges have quick music courses. besides, the military might want to have some courses that can make it easier to do this. it really is the basically way that i visit imagine of that can make it easier to stay to get your retirement. the basically different aspect that you would possibly want to earnings on is that some states credit your service time in direction of retirement years. Pennsylvania does this so which that is advisable to make certain about doing 5 years and then attempt to get a job with a state that does that. maximum states vest you after 5 years of service with that state. you nevertheless ought to artwork for 5 years yet you would possibly want to get 10 years credited for retirement.

I don't see what the problem is with older recruiting. Back in the Roman Empire you automatically served from 18 to 45 I believe. I could be wrong, but my point is that age shouldn't be that much of a factor when recruiting. If they are healthy enough, strong enough and willing enough let them go and fight.

I think it should go to 45. No reason other than that's a pretty good age to be, you've been there done that and hey, I might join up!

Age shouldn't be a factor , just pass a physical.
I am older than 45 and I can still shoot straight.
