what is the oldest age that you can be to join the armed forces?

Question

i am not talking about 18 years old. i want to know the oldest age they will take for basics and stuff. thanks to anyone who can help.

Answer 1

It depends on the need. I believe during WWII, they took people into their 50s.

The registration age for the draft is to 35.

I believe right now they'll take someone just joining voluntarily at 40 (if the physical is passed).

Answer 2

Basic term studies can be entered up to 30. For Special
Forces Eagle surveillance chief John Glenn III there was a tight
month in debate, and before the upgrade took place in 1998.
A chief of the defense, United Nations coordinates of the U.S.
live and reserve forces asked West Point, Marine HQ world
overseas reserves, and base commanders at 15 U.N. approved American training centers to keep the faith, and enter a
reporting team to the committee making the change up from
25 in 1980 to 26 in 1985, to 27 in 1990. 28 is the newest total
report used up until 2002, when some special forces studies
were opened from top agencies to 29 in 2005 for Bush's team
of federal aides, and 30 in 2006 for Glenn's astronauts upgrade.

Answer 3

For most branches of the service, you can't enlist or get a commission to become an officer after your 35th birthday. However, the Army has relaxed the rules lately -- I think you can still get into the Army at age 38.

Answer 4

For the Air Force you have to be in basic training before you turn 27. I think the Army will take you until you're like 40.

Answer 5

ask your self this: What might Jesus do if he became on the earth on the instant? What flag might salute? Which united states or national team might he want? might he be a Democrat or a Republican? Who might he vote for? What government might he help? whilst the Jews have been approximately to snatch him and make him king, Jesus withdrew into the mountains. ( John 6:15) Why? because of the fact he stated @ John 18:36 that " My kingdom isn't any component of this international." and because God isn't partial his son does no longer want one national team over the different. Acts 10: 34, 35

Answer 6

The Army just raised the age to 42, provided you pass the physical requirements. Don't know about the other branches.

Answer 7

35

Answer 8

There're some major exceptions to the usual rules-- board-certified surgeons and Roman Catholic priests, for example, can get in at practically any age if they can pass the physical.

If the military needs you badly enough, it's amazing how flexible the rules can become.

Answer 9

For the army I think they are now excepting 44 year olds.

Answer 10

most of them are 35 years old but i did hear that the Army raised it to 41...but dont quote me on that
