When I went in we had a guy that was 34 at the time going into regular Navy. Not to old.

Good luck, I used to work meps while I did my recruiting assignment, itll be boring as hell waiting around but a lot of the military is hurry up and wait, remember its like applying for a job a lot of people dont understand that and act amazed when we kick them out for being disrespectful
I"ll keep MY FIREARMS and MY MONEY, you keep your "CHANGE"
Good Luck!!!!
Should I make a trip up to MEPS tomorrow and tell the Medical staff to take "extra" care of you?
When they take your BP look at the sticker on the side. You will find the initials "JC" on it.......And good luck. All the younger guys will call ya "gramps" in basic. Will be looking for an update in about a month.
I see you running, tell me what your running from
Nobody's coming, what ya do that was so wrong.
We had a guy that was 42, the limit for age, in my BCT class, and he was a 30 year veteran truck driver so his 88M AIT was like 2 weeks instead of I think it's 8... and Jerry, we call him gray bush.

So, passed medical with flying colours. And then sat around for a while, and then rejected because of some of my tattoos...
I'm gonna push the issue if possible and try for a waiver somehow, but I dunno.
I've been pretty down since Friday...

Dude that sucks!!!! When I talked to the navy the recruiter said they are at 140% manpower. Just try to push the issue I'm sure they'll give you a break. Interested in any other service?
I'm going to try and keep pushing it for sure; I haven't given up yet!
I thought about the other service thing, and Navy is still my main interest. Navy is/has been a big deal in my family for a lot of years...
But, I may re-evaluate after I see what happens.

If you are looking at trying Army look here. This is a job that on the outside if you are good would start at $50K after 5 years in the Army. It also is very computer heavy these days. Just A thought.
