Didn’t realize they raised the Age Limit that much.
Thought it was like 17-30.
27 until 2014 when it went to 39. 42 since Oct 24 2023.

Would track with the decline in enlistment rates. And the increased desire to maintain the forces they do have for as long as possible. The Airforce in particular was concerned about Pilots aging out both Combat and otherwise a few years ago.
Though Space Force and the Airforce can probably afford to be laxer on age requirements than other branches. Given they’ve got more roles that are less Physically intensive for older enlisted.
Though I have to wonder if there are other things driving the expansion of enlistment timeframes other than Dismal recruitment numbers
