SN Richard Spain Here are answers to your questions.

The Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) is a federal law that protects workers and job applicants age 40 and over from age-based discrimination in all aspects of employment. The ADEA does not apply to elected officials, independent contractors or military personnel.

Americans with Disabilities Act

The Americans with Disabilities Act protects the civil rights of people with disabilities and ensures them the same opportunities as everyone else. Learn more about what the ADA covers.

What is the real question? What are you trying to sort out? Military bases will generally have ADA compliant entrances to most areas and facilities but if you are on active duty and looking at the ADA a med board may be in your future.

Yes and No. It depends on the person, disability and situation. Most active duty personnel can not claim ADA or ADEA. If you a civil service, both acts apply.
