The U.S. Army, aiming to make its recruiting goals amid the Iraq war, raised its maximum enlistment age by another two years Wednesday.
People can now volunteer to serve in the active-duty Army or the part-time Army Reserve and National Guard up to their 42nd birthday, officials said.
"Part-time" Reserve and Guard? Bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha!
Older recruits must pass the same physical standards and medical examination as younger ones, the Army said. However, those between 40 and 42 will face additional cardiovascular screening, Bobick said.
When they get to recruitin' guys my age, the docs'll need earplugs to quiet down the wheezin'!
