Great insight.

OCS in my state is open to all fields right now

Went in at 30. Definitely a bit difficult. Once you are through with Basic and AIT, there will be more diverse ages and it won't matter as much.

I was the 2nd oldest in our platoon at 25, so I tried to be a good example. I made my share of mistakes, but nothing serious. Most of our recruits were still in high school, so I think some of them looked up to me. The drill sergeants didn't bother me much. I kept a low profile, under the radar.

If your prior service they will know and ull have respect, especially if your former Marine

Hey Bro! I’m actually hopefully soon joining the Maryland National Guard at 32/33 as well and thinking about switching in the near future once in so you mind telling me more on what to expect for education, housing etc for NG & Army Reserves? Thanks!

Thanks for the video! I'm applying for my Green Card and I'm 33, hopefully I'll get it, so I'll be able to join! I've wanted to do it since I was a kid! I did a semester of my High School in Texas (Go Farmers!!! hahaha - Lewisville HS!!) and when the recruiters came to my school I was blown away! But I had to come back to Brazil, because of my visa and also, because I got the opportunity to work as a model... I later had the chance to join through the MAVINI program, but at that time I was working a lot as a model and I just felt like it would be a shame to miss out on all that I got to live as such... I eventually got a few working visas that allowed me to apply for a Green Card!... but I've been stuck! I guess with fear I won't be accepted back into the US, because when I first went there I had a tourist visa, with which one should't study:/ but as I mentioned I did... and I also lied about it, when I had the chance to get the work visas... I eventually felt like I should tell the truth, so I called the immigration and told them everything and they said I could continue to apply for a Green Card, but that I had to leave the US to do so... I left in 2016:// and have been struggling to finish my application ever since!:// I guess, with the fear that I won't be able to ever go back!... I know it might not make sense, since by not trying I'm automatically receiving a "no", but I guess deep inside, I prefer to day dream with a possible miraculous "yes", than to actually face a definite "no" which would factually demolish my dream!... Pray for me please! hahaha I hope I overcome this fear and just go for it!... But anyways, once again, thank you for the video!

I enlisted at 34 turned 35 I was c called old man Harvey the whole time I was in bct 😂

I have BS is Business. Would that qualify as STEM?

I’m wanting to join at an even older age than you did. I’m 35yo currently. I’m currently dropping excess body weight(lard) to be eligible for enlistment. I need to lose at least 181lbs. To do this i will be doing a mostly water fast for 316 days. I will take vitamins and to avoid the nausea from taking them on empty stomach, i will eat 1 Reese’s cup with the vitamin daily. I dropped out of high school in the 9th grade. Immediately got my G.E.D and went to work doing dead end jobs. The past 10 years I have been driving 18 wheelers. I have no kids or spouse. My grandfather served in the Navy during WWII and my cousin served in Army during Desert Storm. I’m undecided on Navy, Air Force or Space Force. Thanks for the informative content. God Bless!

Please, for the *LOVE* of *GOD!* If you are older and want a future in the military, *PLEASE* go and get literally *ANY* degree. Don't destroy your bodies maintaining standards created for the lower enlisted, *be smart; get commissioned*

Did you stay in? I originally went in at 24 and didn't think I was old at all. I'm rejoining as an RN at 38, but no basic with that route. I originally went 11b, I think I could physically pull it off again, but no way in hell I would want to. My mind is just in a totally different place than it was back then. Props to you for going through with it.

35 here, married with 3 kids, gonna retake the asvab and gonna head back up to MEPS to pick a job and Ship date... im mainly doing it for my kids 😄

First off, Thank you for your service! Second, if you could go back would you do it the same or would you go straight to the reserves?

thank you for sharing. I’m considering enlisting at 24 and thi’s encouraged me.

Turning 24, plan on getting married this year, and joining army towards end of year.

you look like Rg3 alil bit lol, good vid tho!

How was the funding for college? Did you get a college degree within your 4 years?

37 here going to meps in few weeks for the army national guard.

I am 29 and I am going to enlist in the U.S. Army

I’m 30 y/o and I’m going to Army MEPS for the reserves, 6/20/23. I’m joining for the benefits for my family, to work off some student loans, to expand in my current career, and to serve my country. I’m super nervous, but everyone is I’d imagine. I can’t run and/or do push-ups like I used to, but I think it’ll be alright. I’m not looking to be a PT stud.

Looking at joining the RMP Reserve at 41 ...

I'm starting to go as a guest, so only one Sunday monthly

You can do it! I enlisted at 34. Graduated infantry school and Airborne school. Currently a part of the 82nd airborne unit in Ft.Bragg. Your mindset is your foundation so have a good mindset and stay humble.

I know this is an older video but what rate did you take up?

I'm 34. Joining the Navy, and hopefully leaving for boot camp soon. You have very sound advice. Thank you for sharing.

Everyone I went to boot camp with was around the same age, late teens/early 20s, but I did go to school of infantry and then into the fleet with one guy that was about 27 and ended up deploying to Iraq with him twice. He was the only Marine in our entire platoon that re-enlisted after 4 years. Real hard charger and a great friend. Semper Fi

Lil Reese grown up

My uncle was in the CIA for the past twenty years is it possible that he could enlist in the Army

Hello I am just now discovering this channel so I’m super late on all of your videos. You’re very inspiring to me because I’m 28 and I’m thinking about joining the military and to watch your old videos and see you join at your age definitely inspired me, I just have to get out of head knowing that I will be dealing with some immature soldiers. Thanks again for your help 🙏🏾

Army national guard gets activated for state missions and deployed overseas army reserve does not get activated for state missions army national guard has federal technician jobs and they also have AGR jobs which is full time guard

I wanted to be a better person

I love the guard

Be a part, not apart...I like that, much respect Soldier!

All of you are trying to be better people, why are yall embarrassed about that ?

Thank u very much for this video personally not alot of ppl can understand personal failure it hurts and to some it anchors them down but to push on no matter wat seems like a better goal to me bless u sir.

Thanks very much for the video i plan on rejoining nice to know whats going on and what changes have been made.

Prior Service Guy here and hope to be attending Army BCT around age 30. I only hope I’m not the only oldie but goodie there. Still unsure if I’m doing active or reserve.

Thanks for the video 🙏🏽 29 years old and leaving to BCT at Fort Jackson next month January 23, 2023

Hope you are enjoying your military experience! Thanks for your service!

Thank you for this video and channel. I’ve been defeated many times in life. I’m 38 and looking to join. Say a prayer for me.

I'm so happy I found this video 32 and going through the process of joining the navy. I feel better now im not the only person over 30 that wants to join in the millions

Summer shines is also another RUclips channel that's in her 30s. I'm 34 joining n I'm ready n really happy to find these channel.

Old man rivers is what they called a guy in my division lmao

You can be 40 yrs old 50yrs old, if you feel strong, you are strong. I thought at my age it was going to be tough with the 18 yrs old on PT but i surpassed the majority of them, agility, strength, speed. They called me Uncle then after they saw what I can do in the gym, they just called me Hulk. I received an award for one of the highest PT scores in the batallion

Hooah, it going to be alright. I had one of the best times in BCT and AIT and my unit. We had wars against Drill Sargeants, competing ACFT with LTs it was great. Well it was great after leaving not during. Fighting cockroaches and rats in barracks. I kid you not most of us saw a black shadow around in the barracks then one of the soldiers started freaking out screaming trying to hurt himself. He told the MPs that he felt something go inside him. That really happened. 15 of us experience that.

I'm giving myself 2 years to drop my weight and get in shape. I'm 31 now

33 working on my paper work to join in 8 months. thank you for your videos!
