 So you wanna know if you're too old to join the Air Force, not just within the age requirements, but if you're just on the upper half of the age requirements, are you too old to join? So technically to enlist in the Air Force, you have to be between the ages of 17 and 39. Now, if you are 17, you are gonna need parental consent in order to join at the age of 17, but if you're 18 or older, you can actually sign for yourself, you don't need anyone else to consent for you. Now, if you are pushing that 39 age limit, you're gonna be looking at you need to go to basic training before your 40th birthday. So if you are in your upper 30s, you don't have much time left in your window. Now, I know some people might be like, I get it, I'm not too old to join, but I'm in my upper 30s and what's the point? Or you might be concerned about being the oldest one at basic training in tech school. Now, here's a truth bomb. If you don't go, there will always be somebody that is the oldest at basic training. Once you're there, you don't care if you're the oldest or not. So the hardest part is getting over the mental battle of telling yourself, if you want to do something, then do it. So earlier when I said, what's the point? There is a point to it. If you want to do it, you have to commit and just do it. Once you're there, you're not gonna care if you're the oldest or youngest or whatever. It's a mental game that you're playing with yourself before you go. If you're worried about being one of the oldest ones at basic training, well, news flash, you're not getting any younger. If you already think you're gonna be old for going to basic training or tech school, the longer you put it off, the older you're getting. So just go ahead and start the process. If you really do want to join, stop giving yourself the excuse that you're too old or you'll be the oldest. Nobody cares. You're the only one that cares. And if you want to join, start caring about that more than you do about your age. This is really important too, because if you don't actually follow through and do something that you want and there is an age cut off, you are gonna regret it the rest of your life. So if you're contemplating joining and you just want more information, go talk to your recruiter. If you know you wanna join, but you're scared of being old or being the oldest one, stop being scared. Just do it. Stop making excuses and start following through with what you truly wanna do. A lot of people ask me if they should or shouldn't join when they're in their late 30s. I could care less. What I do care is that you're doing what you want. Start following through and stop giving yourself excuses to back out of doing something that you wanna do.
