Show Notes
The U.S. Army is raising its maximum enlistment age to forty-two, aligning with the Air Force, Navy, Space Force, and Coast Guard. This change, effective next month, opens doors for midlife career changers seeking a new challenge. The Army previously tried a similar age bump during heavy fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan, but lowered it to thirty-five in 2016. The Army also dropped the need for waivers on a single marijuana possession conviction. High-profile returns to service, like ultra-endurance athlete and former SEAL David Goggins, highlight the militarys trend of tapping experience from all ages to build its ranks.
