Marine Corps saying during WWII: “Be kind to a SeaBee, he may be your father.”
Market the Navy to older gays and trannys who want to shower with younger guys and girls.
Can’t get the kids off their a$$e$ stoned and zoned useless lot.
Surely more anti-white and pro gay rhetoric should have helped with recruitment goals
I don’t know if this applied to all government jobs, but to join the FBI in the eighties you had to be under 35. My guess is if you were over 30 you’d have had a hard time back then. The actual stated reason was you didn’t get the same work out of older workers than you did from younger ones. Younger workers took fewer sick days and lasted a full twenty years. At 40 you’d be sixty at retirement, which was two years after I began to take time off for sickness and other health issues. So, since the government is allowed to discriminate, this is a surprise.
When I talked to someone in the know he said that the issues with youth were, in order, drugs, arrests, physically unfit, just plain stupid and face tattoos.
Why should anyone enlist with the woke U.S. military?
We have already lost the next war.
Learn Chinese now.
There won’t be any “Press 2 for English” when the Chinese are ruling us.
has raised its maximum enlistment age to 41 in order to attract more sailors to the fleet

Well considering the Navy wants homosexuals primarily , I think most of the older ones already died of aids, domestic Pelosi hammer domestic disturbances , murder suicides and murder/suicides.
We’re becoming like Russia. Just the old guys and the undesirables
I doubt individuals of "Middle Age" will be interested, and if they are, they can't be treated like an 18 or 19 year old.
Millions of eligible servicemen and women eliminated via ABORTION.
DO NOT RISK, FOR ANOTHER ENLISTMENT, EVERYTHING THAT YOU SPENT 20 YEARS TO EARN.
Rinse, Repeat. Retire from the military the day you are retirement eligible.
As a member of General Officer Personal Staff for over eight years, and as the NCOIC of the 82d’s IG Office and the Assistance and Investigations NCOIC - don’t let one “Awe Sh*t” whip out a 1000 Ataboy’s! I saw too many NCO’s leave with nothing for mistake made because they were reenlistment ineligible thus not making 20-years, or someone over 20 get popped for something stupid like a relation with a subordinate, black marketing, etc.
If you’ve already retired - no matter how much you loved the military, do not return as a service member. There are plently of ways a command can make you Civil Service, even on board a ship, plane or dune-buggy - you just have to agree to take all the shots and your ID Card will give you a corresponding POW rank if captured, e.g., if you are a GS-11 your grade will be LTC. Most senior NCO’s are eligible for GS-11/12. Imagine getting captured and out ranking the guy on active duty commanding the ship;)
Sorry not buying it. 41 year old grunts? No way! Somebody is zooming us.
This means grandmothers and grandfathers, people whose bodies are just starting to break down which means more injuries and more disability pensions.
It is hard to recruit young male warriors when the same ad also is directed at your sister, your mom, and even your grandma.
Roflmao, I spent 2 years on active duty in the Navy and 5 years as inactive (going to meetings).
I can just picture a 41 year old man and a 17 year old Seaman Recruit mopping the same passageway, or chipping paint together, washing dishes together and on and on.
Ridiculous on it’s face (in peacetime).
I’m just offended that they consider 41 y/os to be “older, middle aged.”
As long as Ms Milley and Biden are in command, I’d say don’t even dare enlist, rejoin or whatever. DEI is not your friend in the military, and they’ll (Milley and Biden) will sacrifice your life to hide what’s going on with son Hunter and all the other stuff.
I just don’ think you guys are being very open minded about this. Just look at the three star admiral that Biden has working for him.
