What age do you think is too old to consider joining the military?

In Boot camp the youngest guy in my company was 17 and the oldest was 35. At 35, the guy had more life experience and kept up during our PE runs. The 17 year old was already a father. I do not know what happened to either of them , but you at 25 will be fine. Best of luck.

My husband joined at 28 and also has his Bachelors and Master's Degree in the same thing that i do. He joined the military at 27 and is still currently active duty. He is a CMC. Its definitely not too late for you.

I joined the military at 17 and did 5 years as an aviation Electronics Technician and 5 years as a personnel specialist. I spent 2 years getting an Associates degree but also managed to get my Bachelors degree concurrently in 11 months before I got out of the military. A lot of my work transferred over to college credits and I also went to a community College online while I went to school on the weekends.
I was married and had a child so you can do whatever you set your mind to.
2 years after I got out of the military I went to school using my G.I. Bill and obtained a Master's Degree. I was 28 when I finished my Bachelors and 32 when I finished my Master's Degree. You have time.

Went through OSUT at 29, if you’re gonna do it then do it. You’ll always be able to find an excuse holding you back but those who want it bad enough just go get it.

When I went to boot camp, the oldest guys in the unit were 34.

Go full time. Whatever job you qualify for...do it as best you can. After your first enlistment you will have a good idea if you are a fit for the military, AND the military will be making its decisions if you are a good fit(via promotion).

If you are a slacker, you will probably not find the military as "great" job.

Good choice go for it! You will not regret it. Ensure that you serve in an MOS that will challenge you. You can continue your education while serving and the military will encourage you to do so, not easy but doable. Choice of MOS critical so do your research. Good Luck.

Joining the military is a positive, decisive plan. You know that you will be trained in and learn a skill that may become a lifelong endeavor, and you will become familiar with both group and self-discipline, something that those of us who have been there still use. Once you're settled in, take a few more courses, perhaps related to your job, and prepare yourself for the next step in your life, whether it happens in 4 or 20-30 years. Always do your best and you'll be surprised at the results. As my son would say, you're "adulting" and that's a good thing. You have made a wise choice.

To begin with 24 - 25 ain't old. I served until I was 45 and the only reason I got out was I just could not keep up with the kids any more. ( I had just got over a bout of pneumonia ) The army also offers college courses that many have retired after 20 years with more than one degree, but this all depends on the soldier. This could also be a way into the officers core. There are no officers more respected than those who have risen through the ranks.If I had it all to do over I wold have stayed for 20 or more. I served 12 and a half years and 23 months in viet nam. 2 tours on coastl patrol and degausing duty and 2 tours in the MCB'S (navy). I was also a training nco un the ilarng under CAC, active duty instructing.
During the time of Moses and the Isrelites, Many of th tribes of isreals soldiers were between 18 and 50 years old. There were over 300,000 battle ready soldiers. good choices to you Ed TaylorEO2/SGT

Go for it Ashley Nicole! I enlisted at the age of 20 and made it through easy enough. Your aptitude and testings will determine what military specialty you're best suited for but if you have an option, ask for it. Having a Veteran's experience will also be to your advantage in life--whether it's for four years or twenty. Let us know what you decide.
