What is the age limit to enroll in the Marines?

Answer 1

Youngest is 17 (with parental/guardian consent if not emancipated) or 18 without consent. The maximum age limit is 35. But if you've served before and want to serve again but are over 35, they subtract the number of years you served from your age and use that to determine if you're eligible. For example, if you're 37 and you served 10 years, then they consider you to be 27.

They did recently raise the maximum age to 39 but I don't think it applies to the marines.

Answer 3

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. God Bless You and Our Southern People.

Answer 4

I enlisted at 17, but that was during Vietnam. Not sure what the limit is today.

Answer 5

17 with parental consent and it tops out at 35. Meaning you must complete basic before your 35 birthday

Answer 6

17 at the youngest, and I believe 31 at the oldest. Ask a recruiter.

Answer 7

Minimum age is 17. But they won't usually take you till you graduate high school.

Answer 8

I think you can enlist at 17, but you can't actually do anything until you're 18.

Answer 9

17, just like every other branch. But until you are 18, your parents have to consent.
