Is there anyone that is over 30 and thinking of joining the army?? I am a 31 yr old female that is tring to join and I just wanted to know if I am alone?

There were several on here a while back. One was planning on going Guard or Reserve. I haven't seen them on recently. Try the search button. If the post was fairly recent try PMing them or if they disclose their e mail address try that route. They could have shipped out for basic already for all I know. I miss a lot as I'm only on here Thursdays & Fridays from my jobsite.

I'm an Army Retired male so I'm completely useless for your questions, although I went in at age 38 after being in the Navy 6 years & out for 14. Believe me it's do-able.

I'm sorry I can't help but I thought I would at least respond so you know there's activity.

My hubby was 30 when he enlisted and turned 31 a few months later. He loves it.

J doesn't look down on the "younger" ones... although with younger ones you tend to get more invites to strip clubs, beer bashes, and whatever the younger party days included. This is not to say some older ones enjoy these types of ordeals... but it isn't J's thing and so whereas he doesn't look down on his younger cohorts - he isn't "hanging out" with them like he may have years & years ago. Just because your priorities change doesn't mean you lose respect for people and what their priorities are.
