Sarge's Recruiter PING, and thanks to Tame for a good thread.
Calpernia: Any thoughts?
I can do ages 17 to 35 years + 364 days. And that's without prior service.

Do I correctly assume that you have gone to a recruiter and have been denied?

But Old Sarge,
There might be other issues. Weight say, and APFT.
I know I'm 33 and prior service, but no unit needs a 33 year old out of shape E4 with 11 year break in active service.
Maybe this fella has a certain skillset, such that he could work for DoD or DA and help the fight that way?

39 my butt. I'm 50 with prior service, USAF 72-76, I want to serve too. I'll clean toilets or carry an M-16. I don't care I just want to serve again!

AR/NGR 600-9 spells out the Weight Control regs; only the outlandishly obese and lazy need not apply.
Thirty-three and prior service? I was 35 and prior when I came off a 7-year break to rejoin the Guard. Hadn't done PT in all that time, but whipped my sorry ass into shape for MEPS.
That's what I'm also suggesting - there are all manner of agencies connected with DHS that are screaming for help.
So, G, what MOS were you?

Have you talked to recruiters representing all the branches? Don't each have slightly different standards?

I too tried, they smiled and shook their head NO.
I'm 43, in fair shape but no prior. If I would have joined, looking back on it, I would have saved myself about 7 years of hell.

I could've got you in if you were 42.
BU-ut, you can also contact the Air National Guard base nearest you; if they can't accept you back in the blue suit, they know blue-suit support organizations who will.
Ever do time on the flight line? You might again...

State Emergency Management, for one. Helps co-ordinate first-responders at the state level. They always need duty watch officers, and area and local responders.
I worked with them at the State Ops Center for better part of two years. I know what they look for. Contact your state EM people. They're definitely on the Web.

What is the upper age limit, by the way?it varies. i believe regular army without prior service is 34 years old.
Old Sarge knows more specifics. I know that i'm just past the age for all regular service.
