What's the max age for enlistment, even guard or reserves

I thought I had older bosses and employers who were in the guard and/or reserves. What about general military?

1. I don't know the max age for enlistment

but after you leave active duty you can go straight to the guard. I would presume you can stay in there for quite some time. Some of the casualities looked in their 50's or so.

if you haven't any prior military service. I was hoping I could suggest a certain local RW radio host, name of Jerry Bowyer, that he put his lardbutt where his mouth was after a caller suggested he pick up a rifle and go to Iraq. But unfortunately he's in his early 40's.

I think you can be older if you have prior military service. And I don't know what the absolute age is when you have to get out. I've seen some 50 something's on the list of those who died in Iraq including one 59 just a few weeks ago (he died of some kind of illness).

4. I believe the various services have waivers for practically everything.

"Good of the Service" covers a lot. A determined paper chase could prove fruitful.

And for the superpatriotic radio hosts, there are plenty of private security jobs in Eye-rack. I heard yesterday that the compensation is getting bid up lately. They can worship at the altars of empire and the capitalist way simultaneously.
