>> Uncle Sam wants you – even if you’re 42 years old <<
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/1460450/posts?page=88

Just got off the phone with a Recruiting Officer. Said they changed the ago to 40 about 6 months ago so I missed it by 5 months.

Will be stopping by the Office this weekend to give my information. If they'll take me and I can find a good home for Clyde, I'm going under the condition that I be in a combat unit. I still want some payback for the 9/11/01 attacks.

My stomach just did a somersault.

I went to a Marine recruiting center three years ago at the county fair to see what the cutoff age was. I think they told me it was 35 so I missed it by three years. I still want a little payback also. Right or wrong I do.
If this is true I will be enlisting. A combat unit of course.

WOW, I'm shaking with excitement! wanna enlist together ad?

You guys gave me chills.

If you get there, you can be sure that I'll be sending care packages.
