Isn’t there an age limit to enlisting in the military? 39 yrs old seems too old to join. I guess recruitment is so low they are taking any age & anybody.
Army is 35 without a waiver. It may be different for Guard or Reserves. Other branches allow up to 39. Also may be higher for officers, depending on MOS. But she is sporting the rank of PFC (E3). Which is uncommon to be in boot camp as a PFC. Plus she already has her graduation photo. BAffling.
I started the Army at 30 as a PFC because of my prior college education. I don’t remember if my score on the ASVAB test might also have had something to do with it. They said I scored high enough I could pretty much pick any MOS I wanted. Also, I doubt that’s a graduation photo as we had formal pics taken in processing before we were ever shipped to basic.
I’m sure the doctors are baffled.
