Yes I was an instructor from 2013-2016 and yes their were a lot of older students from various backgrounds and many did well.....I have seen men in their 40s come through and start out well.....most of these guys depending on the damage and bad habits they built over their lives start breaking but I have seen them make it also

Stay healthy I was 32 when I went and I did fine stay healthy and put your ego in check a good idea and solid tactics are good no matter who says it....we need the maturity in the force today more than ever

The major thing today is we are smarter on physical performance and better understand the expectations and limits.....the course is about endurance and mental/emotional resiliency.....they will start the course by testing your physical readiness and will require you to meet time standards...
