New NG Age Requirements
 

I just spoke with my NG recruiter (I'm pursuing Rep-63) and he said that as of April 1, 2011, the max enlistment age for non-prior service into the Army National Guard is 35 years of age. He said he didn't know of any age waivers after 35. Has anyone else heard about this rule change?

That's rough. Thanks for the information.

Might put an end to stuff like this.

I don't care that she is black or she's a she. The rule became "as long as you can get 20 years before mandatory retirement age" of 62 you were gtg.

But Dozer...what a great 'tool' for the DS's to use with the younger recruits.

"What's the matter, Oxburger...can't keep up with Grandma {or Grandpa}?"

On the other hand, every unit needs a mascot for morale purposes. :rolleyes:

Damn...and I thought I was old at 32.

That was when we needed more people.

Now, we have too many.

Is the Army dropping the age for active and reserve forces as well?
Everything I have found still states 42. But so does all the guard info.

Sincerely,

We have rarely had a shortage of people in the recent past; its a shortage of soldiers that is the problem... :munchin

cut off age prior service
 

I was looking at going back to the Guard at 44, does anyone know if that's over their age limit?

Not for prior service guys it isn't.

I would give you the POC for a great NG SF recruiter but 20th just lost the best one we had...

Crip

hell yes
 

Please do, send me the contact. I have an interview with the CO SGM in MD when I return from Balad in July but it would be nice to get an idea of what I'm looking at. I appreciate the help.

Surg, I'll be at 20th tryouts in September. Is there a recruiter you're currently referring candidates to?

Sorry SC...just couldn't resist this one.

"Surg" (just the first 20 seconds)

;)

"No, its 'Surg'... you're saying it wrong."

Well deserved.
