But even their site does not reflect the new rules that went into
effect last week. (Bumping the age to 42)
WASHINGTON -- The Pentagon has quietly asked Congress to raise the
maximum age for military recruits to 42 for all services.
The Marine Corps Times reported that under current law the maximum
age to enlist in the military's active services is 35, while people up
to age 39 may enlist in the reserves. Currently, in reality, the
accepted maximum age for recruits is 27 for the Air Force, 28 for the
Marine Corps and 34 for the Navy and Army, although the Army Reserve
and Navy Reserve sometimes take people up to age 39 in some specific
and rare specialties.
The Pentagon's request was sent to Congress Monday night prior to
a Tuesday hearing of the House Armed Services' Military Personnel
Subcommittee; the Department of defense characterizes its request to
raise the maximum recruit age to 42 as part of a package of "urgent
wartime support initiatives."
My understaning is they passed this last week.
