Over sixty and ready to serve; I’ve had a full life and, after several very loud and opinionated girlfriends, don’t mind facing death.
It would at least save me several hundred dollars a year in meds, plus checking out with a costly and lingering illness.
So long as I can take my cane with me onto the field of battle and wheel my pack in a shopping cart, there shouldn’t be any problem.
Yes, I agree - let the kids have fun and let us Old Guys do the fighting!

I'm a young 46, look young enough that I still get carded when buying beer, and would love joining the forces....my BS degree in Business/finance is useless in the real world. I'd go to law school and serve the Government in the Jag program and would wear my uniform with pride, but alas at 46, I haven't a prayer. Funny though, I'd walk into a recruitment center, have them get excited about me joining and watch their jaws drop when I say I'm 46...I need a job, and the ability to provide and protect my 3 year old daughter.

You guys are killing me.
Ok ok
Count me in. But don’t disturb me during my nap time
