What's the age cutoff for military enlistment?

I'm curious about the age requirements for enlisting in the military. Can anyone share what the maximum age is and if it varies by branch?

The age requirements for military enlistment do vary by branch. Here are the general guidelines:

1. The Army accepts applicants between the ages of 17 and 35. The age limit for the Army Reserve is 39. However, those with prior service or in certain jobs can join up to age 33 or beyond.

2. The Navy accepts applicants between the ages of 17 and 41, with some exceptions applicants with prior service and those wanting to join the Navy Reserve.

3. The Marine Corps accepts applicants aged 17 to 28. The upper limit can be waived for those with prior service.

4. The Air Force and Air Force Reserve accept applicants aged 17 to 42.

5. The Coast Guard accepts applicants between the ages of 17 and 41.

6. The Space Force, being a part of the Air Force, also has an age limit of 17 to 42.

Remember, this is the age you should be when you enlist, not when you start talking to recruiters or when you start the enlistment process. Also, if you're under 18, you'll need parental consent to join. These are general rules and there can be exceptions, especially for those with prior military service or with skills in high demand. This is a general idea, but it's best to check the details with a recruiter. It's also important to remember that along with the age limits, the military also looks at other factors such as educational level, physical fitness, moral character, and legal history when deciding on enlistment eligibility.
