Btw what’s the age cutoff? I’m 33 and only growing older
There is a reason there is a age requirement,. It is a LOT of work and a HUGE commitment. Expect to get your ass kicked for over a year of training. The age requirement is just not to make sure your body can handle the training, it is also to make sure you have the mental capacity to handle it too. Would you be fine with someone 10 years younger than you yelling down your throat making you pose in the front leaning rest position for 45 minutes just because he is having a bad day? This is where it has been found that older people have the most issues and why they will usually only do the age waiver if they are desperate for applicants.
You really have to want to serve your country for this job. Although the benefits are great, enlisted pay is not. The training is hard, the mission is hard, and you will spend a lot of time away from home and family.
