ALL ARMY AGE LIMITS INCREASED.....

Post by hit_it »

Al the age limits for NON-prior service applicants have been increased to 42.

That is, you must ship to basic training by your 42 birthday.

Prior service may deduct years served from their age and if that put you under 42, you're good to reenlist.

That is all. Fuck you very much for your time.

FYI: Be on a LOT less beginning 1JUL06. Packing up Household goods for the push.

Damn, brother. You teach Jesus how to lay the gun?

Seriously, only Active Federal Service time counts.

Drilling and IRR do not count towards age reduction.

This is bullshit...what good would service to your nation be if you didn't have financial hardship to endure?
