ANG Enlistment help for age over 39

[usc1995]

Bill HR 1815 section 543 was passed (which means it became law) on January 6, 2006 raising the enlistment age limit from 35 to 42.

H.R.1815 SEC. 543. INCREASE MAXIMUM AGE FOR ENLISTMENT.
Section 505(a) of title 10, United States Code, is amended by striking `thirty-five years of age' and inserting `forty-two years of age'. I'm 40 and have no prior service. I understand it's up to the individual services to decide whether to increase the max age for enlistment. It just so happens that the AD Army has, to 39 years 364 days. Please let me know of any other ways to enlist in the ANG, (I already know about the exceptions for a legal or medical background and prior service).

The Army National Guard currently has the same age standard as the Active Duty Army. ( 39 years, 364 days). There is no waiver authorized for applicants that have reached their 40th birthday.

The age 39 limit is for initial enlistments -- if you have prior military service, you can re-start your career past age 40. Speak with a Recruiter today!
