On occasion, we have brought in the old, for example, the medical field with doctors and dentists in their 60s, there are many fields where age is not a barrier, computers, intelligence analysts, field grade officers, specialized technicians/scientists, engineers, whatever.

When your nation is actually being invaded and your cities overrun by the enemy some peacetime luxuries are not indulged, after 9/11 even the United States was bringing in old ex-Green Berets and allowing 42-year-old women and men their first enlistment.

I bumped into Rear Admiral Grace Hopper at the airport once when I was heading to a NATO exercise, she retired in 1986, months away from her 80th birthday.
