A Seattle publication just covered the enlistment of a 41 year old man. A man who has both children and GRANDCHILDREN joins the army. The man wants to aid his family and chose the army. The GI Bill will give his children access to college funding and give his family stable income. The man will be able to skip basic training and get sent straight to Iraq with a brief pass at Afghanistan.
Wow. The man really loves his family. I don't know if at the age of 40 I would consider joining the Army. I can understand he needs to support his family. The man is lucky the army raised the cap to 41 in an effort to widen enlistment criteria.
