Army raises enlistment age to 42, removes waiver for marijuana possession - Lemmy.World

I’m 40. I haven’t found full time work in a year. I might have to join. I don’t want to lose my house. Nobody will miss me if I die overseas.
Did the same thing but I was 25. Now that Im in my forties I couldnt possibly have done the training that was asked of me. I was in Basic with a guy that was 40ish, he only kept up cause he was in phenomenal shape. Just know Ill miss you MisterNeon, good luck.
I’m not in shape. I don’t think I could survive basic training. I’m running out of options.
The most important thing is to just keep going. Always keep trying, even when you think you can’t.
I’m feeling really old. It’s hard to keep trying and failing at my age. There are no jobs and I don’t have anyone to lean on for financial support.
