The United States army announced last month that it would raise the maximum age at which Americans can enlist from 35 to 42 years to expand its pool of eligible candidates amid recruiting challenges in recent years.
An updated version of US Army Regulation 601–210, dated March 20, outlined the changes, including the elimination of rules requiring anyone with a single conviction for marijuana possession or drug paraphernalia to obtain a waiver to enlist.
The new age limit was announced during the US-Israel war on Iran, towards which young people have expressed widespread opposition.
The updated version of Army Regulation 601–210 officially takes effect on Monday, April 20.
Oh shit I’m in the age bracket again? at least I’m trans I guess 🤷
That just means your disappeared and sent to the gulag when your draft notice comes.
