Too old to join?
Hello, I just turned 28 and I was wondering if that was too old to join. I know the age limit is 28 without a wavier, but this question is more of a matter of opinion amongst current Marines. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.

There was a guy in my platoon who was 28 that was a medical drop from another company. We picked him up for 3rd Phase...he didn't really get messed with at all by the DIs. There were a few other guys in our company that were between 26 and 30 that were treated a little bit different by the DIs seeing as that they were generally a lot more mature than most of us 18 and 19 year olds.

It won't be a problem. You will be in a situation where people 10 years younger than you will be your only source of friends, at least for a while. If that is a problem for you then I guess you should consider it. But every company has a few people that are older than the typical recruit, and they all do just fine.

I had 3 in my platoon in bootcamp that were 29-30, and they did better than some of the 18-19 year old recruits, especially in terms of maturity.

We had a 31 year old when I got stuck in MRP, he picked up with a company and ended up being the Honor Grad with them.
