Midlife career opportunity! Enlist or reenlist.

I'm still 26 years too old. Anyone else pulling this trigger?

I told my wife in a joking manner that I might just find me a prior service recruiter to go back into the Marines. She told me I would be signing two pieces of paper so that discussion turned out to be a short one.

49 years old. Can’t drive without glasses. Knee replacement… also too tall to have lived my dream of being an A10 pilot… multiple family members piloted planes and choppers for the military.

these soft office hands couldn't handle it.

DoD is even willing to let one marijuana conviction slide. Huzzah!

 

[Rack Daniels]

They’ll let one CONVICTION slide!? While most companies and cops include CHARGES as “criminal history” —
even if you’re found “NOT guilty”.

What a joke.

Career path for those who lost professional positions to DOGE? AI? Farmers selling out? Tariff layoffs? DEI refugees?

Glad to be 100% VA rated. Completely out of the question.

Grateful for the service and sacrifice of you and your family.

Significantly, he’s only 6 feet tall. I was 6’6”. I checked now and they’re accepting 6’7” now, specifically for the A10. My vision is what was an instant kill though. Now you can get surgery and qualify.

Damn Yao! lol

 

[Hammsolo]

I believe I am lucky to not be taller. I am right on the edge of practicality. Can you imagine being a seven footer that didn’t make a fortune in the NBA? Cars? Shoes?
