Age Limits for NG

Post by ParaPete »

I would like to get into the NG. I have a few years experience in the 82nd as an 11B1P and frankly I miss running around in the woods and petting jake the snake. :D

I am 39 yrs old however, and I want to be an officer. Can I still get in?

Also, one of my old unit buddies wants back in as well and he is 43. Is it too late for him as well?

As SFC hit_it said yes, but you must hurry as you need an age waiver to be an officer. As far as your friend, I believe as long as he can make 20 good years before he turns 60, he can join the guard as well.
