I tried to join the Marines when I was 30 and they said I was too old.

“I tried to join the Marines when I was 30 and they said I was too old.”

My wife’s uncle was drafted in WW2 at age 35. Spent the duration in the China-Burma-India theater in combat engineers maintaining the Burma road. Never too old when chips are down.
