whats the maximum age the military will take you, national guard, us army, reserve, male and female?

Answer 1

42 changed this year

Answer 2

The maximum age of non-prior service enlistment, under federal law used to be age 35. In 2006 the Army convinced Congress to change this to age 44.
Regardless of federal law, the military services are allowed to impose more strict standards -- and they have. The maximum age for non-prior service enlistments for each of the services are:

Active duty Army - 42
Army Reserves - 42
Army Natinal Guard - 42
Active duty Air Force - 27
Air Force Reserve - 34
Air National guard - 34
Active duty Navy - 34
Navy Reserves - 39
Active duty Marines - 28
Marine Corps Reserves - 29
Active duty Coast Guard - 27
Coast Guard Reserves - 27
Age waivers are possible for those with prior military service

Answer 3

The correct answer is 42 years old without Prior Military Service. With Prior Military Service, the number of years of Active Federal Service is subtracted from your age and you are given an adjusted birthdate for enlistment purposes.

Answer 4

I watched a segment on the news where a prior service member went into the Guard at age 50.

Answer 5

I think it's up to 45. When I joined the army four and a half years ago it was 39. If you're prior service, they subtract your time in service from your actual age to find your adjusted age. Your adjusted age is the one that matters.

Answer 6

35 or 36

Answer 7

it used to be 28 unless you are prior service then you can rejoin older than that. I dont know what it is now. I know the Army is accepting people in their upper 30's.

Answer 8

Last I had heard it was like 36. Though i think right now they would probably consider anyone who has some sort of skill that they require. The armed forces are having difficulties recruiting at this time.

Answer 9

No one over 42!
