Army Bootcamp At Age 43?

 I sat and read a piece yesterday.....it's  been on my mind.

The Army wrote a new regulation....you can enter Army bootcamp up to age 42.

I tried to imagine....me at age 40 (I was still in decent shape....running 4 miles a week, and spending three morning at the gym)....signing  up for Army bootcamp.  But that was my Air Force period. If I were farmer-status....I doubt if I could handle the fitness requirement.

How many plus-35-year-old guys will sign up?  I would guess a couple hundred guys....maybe more women than guys.

The thing is.....you'd approach age 60....retire for 50-percent of your pay, and four years later...pick up social security.
