No surprise. During the Clinton administration's DOD drawdown, after 12 years of active duty army, at 38 years old, I was pretty much forced to resign from active duty. (I joined the Utah National Guard and served another 12 years, but that is another story.) I was fit, experienced, and ready to serve in another agency. I applied to Dept. of State, Border Patrol, DEA, Customs, BLM, US Forest Service, local law enforcement agencies, and not one of them would hire me because I was too old. Thanks veterans, but you're too old to hire in our agency.

Never too old to continue your service to your country, or community.
