Mid to late 30s is a normal new hire, 50 isn't unheard of.
Wheni told them my age (40 at the time) and that I didn't retire from the military their minds were blown.

Going to waive the BS flag on this. 40ish new hires is nothing new. The average age in my new hire class was 45, all civilian and that was 1999.
Anyone who thinks this is new or out of the ordinary has been living in a very small bubble for the last 20 years.
