Most are likely familiar with the F-35, but if you don’t follow it to deeply a lot of civilian and political authorities do not like the program for budget overruns. The platform is capable but Lockheed hasn’t delivered what was promised on day 1 the jet started flying. Happy the DOD is finally holding these contractors accountable! My…

CAGE replied to the discussion Age Limit in the forum General Discussion 2 days ago
Cody,
As far as age goes, it’s just a number. You can get hired at a unit at 24 or you can get hired at 31. I’ve seen and been a part of boards hiring people. Most important thing is to be all in because you have such a shorter window than most. You’ll have to sell yourself to units why your age isn’t a factor they need to think about. As I tell…

Reply to Can Guard Units Help Fight For You To Get a Medical Waiver? MHS Genesis Question
