I wanted to know if I'm to old to get back into the Marines? I was a little older than most when you first go in, I was 24yrs old. I was in from 1997 to 2001. My MOS was 0311 and my rank was E-5. I'm 36 yrs old now and have always regretted on getting out. I would love to get back but I think I'm to old. One recruiter said I was and another said I wasn't but needed to run a perfect PFT. I think they don't want to bother with me cause I don't fall under their quota. Any suggestions? Thanks

By the book your constructive age is 32(you actual age minus your service years) and the cut off is 28. Yes you are too old for the Marines based on that but other services you still have a good chance.

Blade, I did some RA at the RS Ft Lauderdale and had inquired about the same thing for a friend of mine. They gave me a number to call, a Gunnery Sergeant that was in charge of that kind of thing...

No you just lose your TIG points.
