Question

I have a BBA degree

Answer 1

Hello, Here are the age qualifications for the military! You can see you are too old, but hopefully if you are serious you won't mind some advice. First check with the Corp and see if they will grant you a waiver. If not join either the Army Reserves; Air Force Reserves; or Navy finish basic then ask to transfer to the Corp. Best of luck. God Bless you and the Southern People.


Age

One would think that age would be a simple category. One is old enough, or too old, right? Unfortunately, it doesn't quite work that way. By federal law (10 U.S.C., 510), the minimum age for enlistment in the United States Military is 17 (with parental consent) and the maximum age is 35. This is to ensure than anyone who enlists on active duty can be eligible for retirement (20 years of service) at the mandatory age of 55 (60 in some cases). However, DOD policy allows the individual services to specify the maximum age of enlistment based upon their own unique requirements. The individual services have set the following maximum ages for non-prior service enlistment:


Active Army - 42
Army Reserves - 42
Active Air Force - 27
Air Force Reserve - 34
Active Navy - 34
Naval Reserves - 39
Active Marines - 28
Marine Corps Reserve - 29
Active and Reserve Coast Guard - 27

However, prior service enlistees can receive an "age waiver." In most cases, the amount of age that can be waived depends upon the amount of time the individual previously spent in the military. For example, let's say that an individual has four years of credible military service in the Marine Corps and wants to join the Air Force. The Air Force could waive the individual's maximum enlistment age to age 31 (Maximum age of 27 for the Air Force, plus four years credible service in the Marines). For the Marine Corps, the maximum age of enlistment for prior service is 32, after computing the prior-service age adjustment.

Answer 2

You are young enough to join the Marines
According to the Marine Corp website and an offical press release: http://www.usmc.mil/marinelink/mcn2000.nsf/ac95bc775efc34c685256ab50049d458/ec5e80eb802fb8c1852570f500403e63?OpenDocument
"In addition to increasing its recruiting force, the Army raised the maximum age for enlistment in the reserve components by five years, Smith said. The change, which went into effect last March and does not apply to the active force, enables prospects who have not yet reached their 40th birthday to join the Army Guard and Reserve, Smith said. The previous age limit was 35."
The age restriction is standard through the services.

Go to this official website and plug in your information: https://secure.military.com/leads/Recruiting/USMCDVD.html?ESRC=ggl_rec_usmc_kwlp.kw

Then I would visit the US Marine Corp website: http://www.usmc.mil/marinelink/mcn2000.nsf/homepage?readform

People who have a Bachelors Degree from an accredited college are supposed to come into the Marines as a 2nd Lieutant (the lowest officer rank). I know one recruiter that tricked a man with a college degree to be an enlisted man so be cautious. It is rare, but recruiters have quotas to make and if they don't make them then they are in big trouble.

Answer 3

It's 28. I just talked to a marines recruiter yesterday. The first question he asked was my age....I'm 27. Then he told me the cut-off age is 28. Same for the air force. The Army cut-off is around 41. I talked to an army recruiter today.
