i was told by a recruiter i could still join army at 42,can i?

Question

any one know the age limit to join army if there is?

Answer 1

Yes, you can. They have recently upped the age limit because they are having trouble finding enough people willing to die fighting for a long cause in a distant land away from friends, family and loved ones.

Answer 2

The cut off for enlistment used to be at age 35. But recently because of the war in Iraq and the military failing to meet it's recruiting goals it has raised the maximum age limit. Even in the past you could still join the army if you were past the age limit, all you had to do is get a waiver. That is you would go before a panel and they would determine if you were fit to serve. Especially in high tech jobs, like engineers and doctors they make exceptions because they are highly skilled.

Answer 3

The age limit is 36, but since we are in a time of war and they are low on recruits you will still be able to. as long as you dont have serious health problems! The army was good for me if you do go in go in as a topographic analyst a 21U. Awesome job! After your enlistment if you get out you can make anywhere from 60,000 to 80,000! Good luck

Answer 4

I believe 40 is the new age limit but you would have to contact a recruiter to confirm this.

Answer 5

Yes you can. The Army recently raised the age from 35 to 42. So you should be good to go...
