Possible career/life change.

[Carn75]

Just want to thank everyone for all the advice and info. However while I was looking at the Army website,I wasnt aware that they hadn't updated some of their info. They changed the enlisted again from 42 back down to 35 yrs old. After talking with a recruiter I missed it by about 9 1/2 months. I was pretty bummed to find that out,but I guess it just wasn't ment to be. Thanks again for all the info,and to those that have and do serve.
