Has anyone joined the militay at 38 and above?

Question

I know the cut off age is 42 years old. Has any one joined at that close of an age?

Answer 1

If you'll recall, there have been so many people NOT joining the Armed Services due to outrage over the illegal and immoral invasion of Iraq, that over the past few years the Army has been calling back in people who are well into their 40s and 50s to help fill in for the decrease in rookies.  

They'll take just about anyone.
