At what age is it too late to join the Navy and whats the requirements? Does a misdemeanor disqualify you?

Question

I want to join but don't know where to sign. I went to Navy.com and signed up but I still didn't get any reply.

Will DUI's Disqualify you from joining the Navy if its only a couple of month old?

Answer 1

Well first you need to see a Navy recruiter the charge should not matter but will in promotions. 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. God Bless You and Our Southern People.

Answer 2

The DUI is more likely to get you disqualified from a certain job in the Navy, than enlisting altogether. Go to a Recruiter. They can much better answer your questions and you will be able to take the ASVAB test which will tell you which jobs you qualify for. The higher you score on the ASVAB, the less of a problem your DUI will be.

If you're still not ready to take the actual walk into the Recruiter's office, go to Military.com. Check out their Navy forums. Some actual Recruiters hang out there and would be happy to answer your questions.

Good luck!

Answer 3

The cut off age in the Navy is 34. As for the misdemeanor, no it does not automatically disqualify you to enlist however it may impact your ability to qualify for certain job skills (rates) requiring a security clearance. Best to speak to a recruiter directly rather than wait for a government website to repond. By then chances are you WILL be too old.

Answer 4

Well, at 17 you can enlist with your parent or guardian permission. I think 35 is the oldest. Some programs it is under that. Seals would be 28. Aviation is 24. Depends on the program. I guess it would depend on what you were convicted of. Generally, it may not, but again, it depends on what it was for. Look in a phone book under US govt. for military recruiters. It will give you the listing for your local office. If you go to Navy.com, it will take a while to get a reply.

Answer 5

35 is the cutoff. Talk to a recruiter about the DUI, you probably need a waiver for that. A few years back, it wouldn't be a problem, but these days they have really started cracking down on things like that. As long as you have a high school diploma, aren't overweight and are under the age of 35 you should be OK though.Good luck!

Answer 6

You can enlist 17-35 yrs. Parental consent is required for 17yr-old personnel. Call 1-800-USA-NAVY or 888-633-9674 and find the nearest Recruiter in your local area. A Recruiter will set up a time to meet with you. To find out more, check out my sited source.

Answer 7

At age 35 you will need a waiver to get in.Misdemeanors as a minor generally will not stop you from being able to join.In some job classifications,security clearances are required so being able to join and do those jobs you might have problems.Talk to your local recruiter.....

Answer 8

Depends on what the misdemeanor was and when it was! The navy is downsizing and the requirements are getting more strict! Good luck!

Answer 9

You need to go to a recruiters office and sit down with them and let them answer your questions. They would be your best source.
