Navy raises enlistment age limit to 41 as recruiting problems continue

[Tribal Outkast]

People are realizing that it isn’t worth fighting these wars with third world countries just so we can exploit their people, land and natural resources.

The answer to all recruitment issues is......pay more
Stop wasting trillions on stealth bombers that barely get used and put that money into your people

That being said, my left knee was sore from doing 100 jumping jacks earlier in the week. I can't imagine someone over 35 doing bootcamp

Russia is conscripting old men in their 60s..

Can you get in with a felony


This might be a good opportunity for a lot of brehs fresh out trying to get their life together.

At this rate, Gen Z gonna collapse society and rites of passages for humanity before they conform.

You make it seem like gen z is going against the system. They are not they just really don’t have to do the thing we did because their parents will still support them.

Be 41 having a 25 year old tell you to mop the kitchen brehs

That's life sometimes


As long as that person is benefitting it does not matter.

The GI Bill pays for 4 years of college (granted if you don't take a whole bunch of classes over) the va homeloan isn't guaranteed because you still have to be able to afford the house but the no down payment is

Don't forget you also get a monthly stipend if you go full time at a brick & mortar school or half if you only do online classes. I think the rate is equal to E5 w/ dependants in the zip code where the school is located... I used it to to get my bachelor's and also went and got my CDL . I still got about 10 months left, might go learn to fly a plane lol

Yep can't forget about that stipend. Did they recently change it cause I thought you could get the full amount if you did online as well. Cause I was going to class fulltime online and I was still getting over $1k a month.

If they eliminate the swimming test I may re enlist.


I almost drowned in boot camp

When I was growing up a lot of us actually wanted to join the military. It was considered some cool shyt to do. And ppl from my hood, including myself would disappear for a few months and always come back way better than when we left. But ppl shyt on the military today when it's still a viable option to get a good head start as a youngin.

Military going to be needing fewer soldiers anyways

We got auto aim hacks now i want one

 

[Ezekiel 25:17]

Couldn't imagine being 41 and getting yelled at by some 21 year old E-4/E-5

If you ain't got shyt going for you, then yeah I'd take that. It's a bunch of 41 yr olds struggling out here with nothing going for themselves.

Come out at 45 with
-$100k savings
-G.I. Bill
-VA Loan
-$0 debt

There's others ways out the mud like IT, but you gotta love software.

Yeah, like someone said in those comments: one sniper on the battlefield is a tide turner. Now imagine the whole team being snipers.

Military would need less soldiers and less ammo with tech like that. shyt with the rockets the world got, it needs less soldiers all around the world.
