The Army will now allow recruits to enlist up to age 42 and has removed a waiver requirement for those with a marijuana-related conviction.

      Below 45

      I.E. eligible for the draft until your 45th birthday.

      EDIT: The special skills draft for health care professionals is up to 54.

      Whatever it is now doesn’t matter, because they will completely rewrite the laws if they ever actually do a draft

      It doesn’t matter, because we’re never going. Even if they try to implement the draft, myself and millions of other will cause disorder.

        I’ll die over here first long before I go overseas.

          I’d sooner risk my life trying to kill the people trying to draft me, than I would anyone in Iran.

      Doesn’t matter if it is going to be raised arbitrarily. I predict we’ll top age 55. That literally means they expect you to be in the military for life, just about.
