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?

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.

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

New NG Age Requirements
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.

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

Not for prior service guys it isn't.

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?

Well deserved.
