Considering the Infantry at 32 years old?
Been talking to a recruiter about joining the Army and despite me looking at other MOS I keep coming back to the infantry.
I know it comes with a lot of bs tasks that get assigned in garrison ect ect
I am more asking those that have been/are 11B if they think someone in their 30's could hack it.
A little about me, I am not the picture of fitness but not overweight. In my current job, I do archaeology. I walk all day with a weighted pack, I dig holes in the ground, carry equipment. for 8-10 hours a day in all weather, for normally 10 days at a time.
I am working on my running, it has been a long time since I ran but been using sprint/jog sessions to work on my run times and hikes with a weighted pack, push-ups, sit-ups, all of that. Not looking to go Ranger or anything like that, just get in, listen, learn, serve.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated

I became an 11B when I was 28, my last squad had a guy that came in at 30. It’s hard but not impossible, I’m 35 now and I don’t feel as though I’m having any more difficulty than the younger guys. If Infantry is in your heart, go for it.

I’m 27 and I’m going to infantry training Monday yeah I’m prior service marine corps but I have been out for almost 2 years so if I can do it or some skinny ass 17 year old can then so can you just you’ll be in your 30s listening to a 22 year old Sgt tell you what to do
