42 is the age limit for non prior service. If you are prior service and have served 13 years of active duty, no matter the length of break in service, you would be able to join back up with a waiver. There are many, many ways to work with the military without actually serving. I myself was in Basic, but fractured my hip and I was discharged. My boyfriend is in the Army and I work alot with his unit, and after Christmas, I'm starting to volunteer with the USO at DFW airport. If you want an actual job with the military, I can only tell you about the Army. Visit www.cpol.mil, this is their civillian personel website. Also, www.usajobs.com is the official employment website to work for the Federal Government. Good Luck and your want to join the military is as good as swearing in to me!

It depends. If you have had prior service before then maybe for the Army Reserve. What happens though since you are 55 you must have enough years in already that you will be able to retire from the Reserves at 60. So I hope you have quite a few years of prior service racked up.

About the only way you can do it is as a civilian. You can work for an on base contractor, or work as a civilian employee. If you have technical expertice in some field, then let them exploit it. Look on the government websites. You may want to try the VA, you can teach a lot of former soldiers things there. I believe the cut-off is now 36, but it maybe a little older, but not over 40. thanks for your enthusiasim though, but the best thing you can do is support. Sorry.

You are too old to join the actual military. But you could possibly volunteer or work at a Veterans hospital?

various factors of misunderstanding seem at play right here. First, this guy isn't gay he's the two bi or purely performed your female pal in a volatile tactic to sleep along with her that worked. 2d factor of misunderstanding is protection stress coverage on gay service. First, homosexuals can in basic terms serve on 2 situations a million. they are closet homosexuals and don't openly declare their sexuality, this saves them from ability discrimination and worse besides as avoids each and every of the sticky questions of what share diverse loos, showers, sound asleep quarters.... do we want; 2d condition is they refrain from gay habit whilst serving. in the event that they declare their homosexuality yet stored removed from gay habit and study confirms a prior history of gay habit (you may get out of the protection stress by potential of claiming you're gay you need to instruct it), you would be discharged for fradulent enlistment (back portion of being contained in the closet is lieing once you sign in). whilst you're some how caught or in any different case shown to have engaged in gay habit you're project to quotes decrease than the standard code of protection stress justice (examine court docket martial) although those strikes are seldom taken if the gay acts have been A. consensual and B. no longer jointly with the different violation of protection stress regulation jointly with acts between and officer and enlisted guy or woman which additionally violates the fratrinization coverage. So the your "buddies boyfriend" i'm specific it quite is code for something, is fairly lots unfastened to serve. In a 365 days or 2 that coverage ought to very properly be thoroughly diverse.

You're too old for the actual military but there are entities that work with/for the military... Army Corp of Engineers, for example, are a part of the Army but a civilian sector.

No. In order to be in the military after your 55th birthday, you have to have a congressional waiver. They're not going to give one to someone who's already in. You can try to work for the VFW, or work a desk job without being in the military.

Yes, but you would have to be an Ordained minister of some sort and you would be a chaplain. Our chaplain in Afghanistan was in his late 50's
