I joined at 39 and now 40. Best decision. Glad I did it!
How did joining 40 help you at that age?
I am 39. Did my ASVAB and medical two days ago. Got an 82 with great line scores. Passed all medical but had to do a special lab because I am close to 40. The lab should be in in a day or two. After that I will have to wait for approval of exception to policy. Wish me luck.
@@dwayneplummer12 me too, waiting for the waiver, been 2weeks.
how long did you wait for the waiver？
@@ikun-oj4pv I’m still waiting for mine. Two weeks as well. Keep me posted.
I’m 33 shipping out on Monday for Fort Jackson 42A mos. Thanks for the tips
Dave Massey i am a 42A, you will enjoy AIT and basic too! Good luck
How did it to brother? I'll m 34 and going to Benning
How do you like it ?
I had multiple people in my basic and AIT well into their 30s and I think it’s great and they were well respected by the other soldier medics
I'm joining the army at 32 years old. Like you said, respect is everything and us older guys can bring some wisdom to the table and help out other younger enlisted members.
How was it? I am planning to join and I am 32 now
44+y/o dude reclassed/transferred from NG to Regular Army while I was at OUST at Benning to our company. Also dropped from a pretty high rank/paygrade (somewhere between SFC and 1SG)down to spc... Passed right along with everyone else.
Wow
HEY , IVE BEEN TRYING TO ENLIST IN MILITARY, IM OVER THE AGE LIMIT. . TEYING TO GET A WAIVER... HAVE THEY MOVED THE AGE UP
I’m 35. And I’m headed to either the Army National or Air National
Nicole P.
good luck. I'm active duty Army and have an e7 who knows people in both Army national guard and Air Guard. He says that people in the Air National Guard have it really good.
I was a little older when I enlisted in AF. I got no respect from either the new enlistee young hippie punks that didn't care about anything except where their next joint came from. And all of the alcoholic lifers were the same. Even when I got my SSGT stripe they were all pissed when I got rank so fast, the kids too.
You don't know what Vietnam was like. A lot of us first started there. Almost everyone did over there. This was in the early 1970s. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of gulf war vets did too. That place is just as bad or worse.
I am 34 and in the process of joining, waiting for my MEPS physical exam appointment . I am Married and have a 9 year old daughter. Currently worked as an EMT-B for 13 years Leadership comes easy lol
thanks so much for this i am 27 and am hoping to jooin next year i was worried at first but you have made me more confident in my decision to join
Thanks for this video..i will be joining soon and I'm 31.
Hello. Thanks for the video. I'm 32 and still have a desire for the Army. I attempted to chat with you before on this topic, but it's a bit difficult when so many others are doing the same on your live videos. There's still plenty of questions I have that my recruiter doesn't have the time for. Thanks again for your time put into this video.
Troopz up Tv thanks. I actually scored a 68 and have completed my physical already. Just got married and need to add the additional family members to my packet.
Troopz up Tv attempting the Army
I'm 52 and thinking about re-enlisting. I got out in 89. I feel like I'm still physically fit enough and I can definitely get through the mental aspect. I loved the military, but left for my wife at the time. However, what's the age cutoff?
Really great information. Thank you!!
I'm only 21 but I'm one of the oldest in my DEP and man are some of those kids just sooo lost and irresponsible that it's ridiculous, at meps it was even worst. Many of them can't follow 2 simple instructions w/o freaking up. Some that have been in the DEP for at least 3 months can barely recite the creed or recognize rank, so I'm already prepared to get beat multiple times per day at boot camp just because of their immaturity and irresponsibility. Geez I really don't think I was the bad at 18. It's almost as if outside of a cell phone screen they really don't comprehend what's going on in the world around them, not all but most.
Im 34, going to Benning in a couple of weeks as 68C. I came in as an E-4 because I've been a nurse for 6 years already and get to skip AIT.
Hey Archiezzle!
32yo male uk Royal Navy
What you said I believe is true regardless of branch or nationality.
A lot of essentially kids will look up to you for guidance and it’s up to those with some life experience to set a good example and offer some advice from time to time.
I'm actually 39! Shipping out for jackson in just a couple weeks. 15U. Thank you for the tips. Eased my mind a bit ;)
Sherry Neumann would love am update. I thinking about doing it at 39.
@@angelaw4044 do it! Im shipping out in August 10th and I’m 36
Awesome
I'll be 32 when I go in, can't wait to get in and see how osut goes, future 19d!
Will Wood good luck 19d here I went in at 33
Im 22 and plan on joining this year. Curently getting in shape and healthier.
annelise rodríguez Hope everything works out for you. Keep in mind that the Army and Marines are both infantry branches and as such have the most difficult PT standards and PT tests. If you know you'll still have problems with anything like running, it might be a good idea to join the Air Force instead (for many reasons in addition to just PT) Good luck and don't be scared to ask. A whole lot of stuff about the military you won't find out online and will only find out from actually joining or asking people who've been in (aside from just the recruiters)
When I went to basic I went with a 34. But once graduation came the announcer said it was unique the youngest is 17 and the oldest to graduate was 48 or 49 which shocked me. But not sure if he was prior service or not.
i had a guy in osut training he was 40 something but was a sgt. he was prior service navy couldnt do one pushup or run for shit .
Can I join at 41 with no prior military? I keep seeing 35 is cut off and then hear 42 is the cut off. I would really like to have the chance
Talk to a recruiter. I’m 39 and will be 49 in 11 days. I’m currently in the process. Just waiting for a medical which takes 2 days.
I’m 37 turning 38 in about a month. Just had wavier process being today.
I am a Vietnam Army Vet. My uncle did basic training as a Marine at 34 during WWII. In my baracks in Basic Training we had a 38 YO. Prior Air Force. Smitty did it.The Male Nurses had to go through Regular Basic in the Army before being commissioned where the females did not? I do not know if this requirement has changed?
Archie hope you nd the family are doing 👍
We’re doing great I appreciate it
Yes, being older and when I was with the other future soldier's working out and doing drill, etc., I noticed that I can lead them and motivate them and correct them in a nurturing way but the bad thing is that it just depends but since im a minority they look down upon me and are soo skeptical about me cuz im asian and they dont trust me and so forth. But whatever....but yeah, being older is a good thing and it depends on the individual that he or she will help the instructors to guide the younger ones and so forth.
I am 30 years old and also have a felony I want to change everything around and think the army is the way to go.do I have any chance?
I am working on getting in shape to join the army now. Planning on joining by the end of the year. Me and my wife have talked about it since we first got married. It's something we have always wanted to do but decided not to many times because we had children each time we pursued. We are having our third and last child in August. Any advice or thoughts on joining with children and family? I am 28.
I joined at 25 bct will get u in shape too easy, u get bah in basic and ait when u goto ur first duty station you’ll get 10 days permissive leave to find a home and move them in
Nathaniel Miller Hope everything works out for you. Keep in mind that the Army and Marines are both infantry branches and as such have the most difficult PT standards and PT tests. If you know you'll still have problems with anything like running, it might be a good idea to join the Air Force instead (for many reasons in addition to just PT) Good luck and don't be scared to ask. A whole lot of stuff about the military you won't find out online and will only find out from actually joining or asking people who've been in (aside from just the recruiters)
Nathaniel Miller As someone who joined the Army at a really late age, joining the military in general regardless of branch is something that might be harder to adjust to than it would be with someone much, much younger because someone older may be more set in their ways and might take in learner new things slower than a younger person. But if you join the Army late, it's harder because of all of the infantry stuff we have to do that the Air Force doesn't have to do.
I have a really difficult time shooting to qualify with my weapon because I never shot before, and probably have a harder time qualifying than someone who's much younger than me. I think if you have two people who haven't shot before, with one real young in their teens and early twenties, with the older in the thirties, the young one will pick up shooting quicker than the older one would.
Then there's the fact that even though I'm in pretty decent shape, in the Army we have the hardest PT standards after the Marines. Group PT in the Army (as well as in the Marines) is MANDATORY and we are all, regardless of our age and what shape we are in, expected to keep up in group runs. We also do ruck marches for PT once in a while, and we will do runs wearing our IOTV vests also.
That stuff is hard on your body. I've tried to do as much research about the military and the Army vs Air Force online as I could, but there was just so much I didn't find out about until AFTER I joined when it was too late.
I definitely would have gone with the Air Force knowing what I know now (as well as joining the military at a much younger age).
I didn't find out until after I joined, that the Air Force, among many other things, doesn't issue IOTV vests and other infantry gear like ruck sacks, doesn't do ruck marches, doesn't have mandatory weapons qualifications, has several days when they don't have mandatory group PT, has easier PT, has easier PT standards, doesn't go to the field, doesn't do motor pool, etc. etc. etc.
Nathaniel Miller I think if you have a family you might be seeing them less in the Army. Again, the Army regardless of your MOS and regardless of your assigned unit is an infantry branch along with the Marines. If you are actually 11 Bravo MOS (infantry infantry) you will be doing infantry stuff more, but *EVERYONE* has to do infantry stuff a lot beyond basic training (and AIT) One infantry thing we do is go out to the field.
You will be out in the field (sweating, stinking, going without a shower, going without washing your hands, freezing, blazing hot,wet, muddy, etc.) for at least a week...if you're lucky. A lot of us spend two weeks or more out in the field. If you go Air Force instead of the Army, you would very rarely if ever go to the field.
Then there's deployments. Everyone is expected to deploy in the military regardless of your branch. That's the military. But if you go Air Force your deployments, if you do deploy, would last maybe three to six months.
If you go Army and deploy, you will deploy guaranteed for at least nine months to a year.
Now deployments bring tax free money, but do you want to be away from your family for that much longer of a time in the Army, compared to a quite bit shorter time in the Air Force?
Benefits and pay will be the same with both branches.
I'm 28 also and have a family, will be shipping out to air Force bmt on Nov 13th. Good luck with your journey bro.
I’m just turned 33, shipping date August 3 2020 sa Texas for FLRI Program. Salamat.🇺🇸🇵🇭
26 let's go
I'm 34 and gonna go for army or navy. Was gonna join army at 31 but had mu daughter and wanted to be home to raise her. But I want to try this one more time before it to late.
How have things been in the last year?
I’m 27. I’m in the process enlist but I don’t to go as E1 how can I get promoted before bct ?
Keep the good work !!!
Miguel R If you have college credits, if you help enlist two people, passing your apft and online classes.
Noe Nunez it can be either one or all 3
As of now only college and recruiting 1 person will gain u another rank
Damn the suck
Miguel R I came in (at an even later age) as an E3 because I have an Associates Degree. Someone with a Bachelor's can come in as an E4. Even someone who's coming in as an E4 will still get treated like crap in basic and AIT. Though a bit better when they get in the operational military after initial entry training (basic training and AIT)
Being an E3 (private first class) in the operational Army means jack crap nothing. A private first class is still a private. Not only that, but promotion to E4 is automatic and based on time in service which is like a year and a half with a waiver and two years without a waiver.
If you have two recruits at basic training, one an E1 and the other an E3 like I was because of Associates Degree, they will both make E4 at the same time. The E3 is not going to make E4 any faster.
Say that E3 gets to a unit in operational, and someone already there is an E2. That E2 will actually make E4 faster than that E3 would because that E2 has been in the military longer than that E3.
I did have somewhat of a leadership role in AIT class because I outranked the other five or so people in my little group in my AIT class. But really the only real advantage coming in as an E3 instead of an E1 would get you is more pay, which you should be saving up your money longer.
Hope that helps.

mac burger Im looking for more information regarding what its really like in the army. Im currently in the navy and when my contract is over ill be 35. I cant get joining army infantry out of my mind. Ive received a lot of mixed messages about it. Just how much exactly does army life trash one’s body?
Can I join at 43?
I'm 28 shipping out in two weeks. 74D Army
How did it go?
Going in at 25
I wanted to join at 40 but no one wanted me. I am in shape, no kids, no married. I just wanted to experience something new but the doors were closed just because you are 40 and don’t have a previous military training. I don’t get the age thing. Guess the military thinks once you turned 40’s you are done or have kids and wife to support. Who knows? Kinda sucks. By the way have you seen how fat an out of shape the recruiters are, lol
34 leaving for BCT in July as 11x. Age is just a number. Just stop drinking alcohol, stop smoking and eating garbage food everywhere. Work out harder and harder everyday. Never quit if your body is asking you to do it.Always work out like your life and everyone’s around depends on it. Good look to everyone.
Marcos Nashville
trust me, you can say that shit now, but your body is going to let your know it later even if you are in great shape for your age. I joined Army active duty at 34 also and was in great shape. The ruck marches and heavy runs, including runs in my IOTV have worn me down.
mac burger are you still in service
@@marcosnashville79 yes
@@marcosnashville79 if I had have known better, I'd have joined the chair force, that way I could do my own PT among many other things. but at least having your body broken down in the army will get you some disability pay when you get out, provided you've kept all your sick call and doctor's appointment slips and papers.
Are infantry too
Aww man im an old fart gonna join at 30 lol
MiguelAngel Bueras Ochoa hey man we had a 34 year old and 29 year old during my basic training they were both good guys and learned alot from them and it was always bad ass competition
Smoking Millz thank you man keeps me motivated
30 is still young
I'll be 32, we got this man! Just run and do lots of pushups before u leave
MiguelAngel Bueras Ochoa joined at 33. Had like 4 guys in there’s 30s in my platoon at basic, a lot of older guys overall in our troop
I totally agree on every one of your points, but you only mentioned positive ones, to be honest there are a few negatives also that comes with that age gap. I was 27 when i shipped out in 2006, I was going Active Duty Army, I was one of the top 5 oldest in my company in basic and AIT. At the time of my enlistment Department of the Army did raise the age to 42 for enlisted, I dont know if that is still the limit these days. One of the hardest things to over come is how much the body changes physically, yes 25-32 is prob you peak ages for fitness but if you have not had that conditioning leading up to those years, this had to have been the hardest challenge. Also being older does knock you out of some positions OCS and the Warrant officer programs if you dont meet the max age before completion of cretin programs.
Also being older is harder to shed some acquired behaviors that do clash while serving in any military.
That is exactly what I had done, it worked out for me. You must be willing to change though i need to stress that. Don't think your going to be living that "DO what you want" lifestyle if you went Active Duty(Reserves and Guard i cant speak for, never served under either). I had went with the frame of mind knowing that i was about to have that change it kinda prepared me, would i do it again YES i most definitely would.
damn over 21 is old...im 31 imma be old af!!!
Allison Dixon
are you in the military already or are you considering joining?
mac burger i am joining
@@allisondixon6699 good luck. I myself joined active duty Army at 34. if you're joining active duty, it's going to really be humbling having to always answer to sergeants and even specialists who are way younger than you are who will always talk down on you because you're a private rank. Plus it might harder to adapt to when you're joining much, much older because you've been doing your own thing living your own life for so long. I'd imagine that doing national guard or reserves is not as bad as active duty.
Then with us in the Army, it's definitely going to be worse with us older joinees because the Army treats its people like little children much more so than the other branches do (because of the fact that the Army has the lowest standards. The other branches like AF have higher standards so they treat their people more like adults than Army).
Plus all of the extra stuff we do in the Army like the motorpool, the field, the ruck (heavy backpack) marches, the mandatory group PT every day with no days off except weekends (when you're not in the field), the heavy running, etc. is going to wear and tear down your body and your mind much more even if you are in great shape, worse than the Navy or AF would since they don't do all that crap.
If I could go back in time, I would have gone AF instead of Army but even if you do your research, you're not going to know until its too late unless someone tells you like I just did. I'd recommend them for an older enlistee than us, but if you want to join us that's okay. Just try to make sure you get a really decent MOS like 27 D paralegal specialist or something like that. Combat jobs and jobs in the 92 series should be for the younger crowd.
mac burger thanks for the insight...all of those things are actually why I chose the army...the challenge, I want to be a warrior and Airmen and Sailors are not warriors. I might look into the navy but it doesnt feel quite right...I want to try to get into the ipap program and become a PA or medical lab tech. although combat does seem like a helluva good time lol I really wanna play with the tanks and weapons but who knows...we'll see if I get in I guess
@@allisondixon6699 A word about medical jobs in the army vs the other guys. And this is another thing you're not going to see about the army until it's too late, unless someone tells you beforehand like I'm doing.
I was assigned to what is called a "CSH" which is pronounced "cash" and stands for "combat support hospital" also known as a field hospital. Think of the 1970's television show " M*A*S*H "
In a CSH we have folks from just about every 68 series (army medical) MOS. The problem is that hardly anyone ever actually does their MOS. The majority of what folks do is work out in the motorpool.
There is a possibility that an army medical job could actually work in a real hospital, but there's also a possibility they could get assigned to a CSH and not do their job much if at all.
I had an e6 who was prior service AF, but switched over to army because he wanted to be a 68 Whiskey (combat medic) tell me that the AF doesn't have CSH's or motor pools and people who are medical in AF actually do their jobs. Something to think about.
hahah yeah ,i saw a guy who looks like 50yo and his rank is PFC and he was being rude to me and i thought
'''oh geez,this guy prob got demoted from SGM to PFC,that sucks....''
then i saw he doesnt has a Ranger tab,or no other badges ,only Airborne (im in an airborne unit) and after this ,i just dont give a damn what he tells me and i always ignore him when he talks to me xd and im rude w him too..
Tf Archie your like 20 or 30 and your calling yourself old
shit calling me old dam,i'm only 22 and I work harder and faster then most 18 year old kid,lmfao good video though.
Hey Archie, could you have brought your wife ti Germany since your married? To love with you.
