Can a recruiter clear this up. I just tried and was told the age limit is 35. But here it says 42. I am 39.

We have updated the article to reflect the maximum age for the Army at 35. However, please validate with your Army recruiter as the Army has the option to change the minimum/maximum ages at any time. Thank you.

As of April 1, 2011, applicants with no prior military service must have taken the oath of enlistment on or before their 35th birthday. It used to be 42 before. However, certain states have different age limits. There is an exception for qualified non-prior service applicants assessing into the MOS 09L (interpreter/translators specializing in Dari, Farsi and Pashto). Contact your recruiter to see if you qualify in your state. I hope this can help!

Hello, there. I started the enlistment process to join the U S Army from the state of Missouri in St. Louis city but have past history of depression caused by unhappiness and feelings of personal insecurity with family relationships at home in August 2007 to November 2008 and took an antidepressant. In November 2008, I got permission from my family care doctor to discontinue the antidepressant. So I slowly weaned myself off the medicine from late February 2009 to August 2011 to avoid the risk of relapse or withdrawal symptoms, which would be a very unpleasant exprience to put myself through. Antidepressants are strong medicines. Even the smallest dosage can have strong side effects while taking the medicine or discontinuing it. Side effects may be increased sadness, suicidal thinking/attempt, nausea and vomiting, fatigue, or dizziness, and in some cases, become habit-forming. That’s why it is never a good idea to quit an antidepressant cold- turkey or stop the medicine unsupervised without first notifying the doctor. Therefore, I simply refused to risk of possibly making myself sick. Then one night my family and I sat down and had a real good long talk about how I was feeling. When we talked, I learned that they do care about me and love me. I was even told on more than one occassion that I had to be more optimistic about most things in my life. I was in my early twenties and in college at the time. And from that night on, I got tired of
feeling unhappy about my family relationships at home and decided to change the way I felt and thought about things in my life and that helped out a lot. I know personal growth did not just happen to me overnight; it took me lots of time to break that vicious circle of pessimism and overcome it all as I got a bit older into late 20′s. I do not display past suicide attempt/thoughts, harm to self/others,

(continued), I had never been admitted to a hospital or residential facility for depression in my lifetime, and I do not have a history of substance use/dependency or distribution. I have been medicine-free for 1 yr and 3 months and hold a steady job with no problems with coworkers and supervisors. In fact, I never was hospitalized, ever, before. My character is of good moral standing and displays no past criminal history. I graduated from a 4yr university with a bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice. I am aware that military service is a privilege and not a right and that some people get kicked out of the service for various reasons like fraudulent enlistment, medical discharge, desertion/dereliction of duty, Absent Without Leave (AWOL), physically/verbally assaulting a superior or fellow soldier, criminal mi misconduct, and other things that jeopardize a servicemember’s military career. None of those apply to me because I am all about showing up to work early and on time, which makes me less likely to do any of these things because I care about my job and employment history and future. I really want to know if I still have a secure chance in still being able to enlist in the military if I can prove that I can be a good soldier in the U S Army by providing the educational and decent moral background and letter of recommendation from my current employer, and even an essay of why I want to join the military to back back me up, despite the fact that I took an antidepressant in the past. And there has never been any incidents of violence on the job/college campus done by me towards a manager, coworker, teacher, or another student. I am not that type of person, which also makes me 100% less likely to endanger the lives of fellow soldiers in my unit, including myself and 100% less likely to neglect my duty and sabotage my military career…if I ever get accepted into the military ( sigh). Plus, I heard that the army has suspended enlistment waivers on the national guard website due to the tougher requirements to join the services at this time. The military is an important dream to me
that I will work hard to make happen the legal way and doing whatever is required of me
like a psych consult required by MEPS and hope to God that I’ll still get to join the Army. MEPS is reviewing my medical records and said that my past history of “depression” might be an issue but I still have hope because it is not official and might is a maybe/maybe not. It is obvious that I truely want to be a soldier because I was honest and disclosed my
medical history to the recruiter in the very beginning of the Army enlistment.since I have enough sense that honest enlistment secures a rewarding military career with no worries of getting caught in a lie and dishonorabley discharged from the military and imprisoned and owing thousands of dollars for enlistment fraud when a concealed history of a medical condition is discovered during a background check for my chosen MOS. I am still anxiously waiting for more MEPS news from my recruiter. It’s a tough fight for me right now. How can I prove that I won’t become a basket case in basic training or during my military career? I am not joining just for money. I know military service will have a strong impact on my lifestyle but I am positive that a military life is what I really want to do. I am looking for adventure and willing to be exposed to the unknown. I am constantly longing for secured hope to enlist in the army.

It is January 2013 and I am still waiting for MEPS results on my enlistment fate since September. I wonder if the military is still not taking in people with medical blemishes in their past?

Educational Requirements: “….With the high US unemployment rate, competition may never has been as high.” (last sentence) – That’s a shame. It seems that the person who typed that up skipped out on education. – Come on now!
