    Various reasons. Mainly the benefits. Tricare health insurance for the family. Post-9/11 GI Bill for the kid. Having a security clearance will also open up some IT job opportunities for me.

        Navy recently raised their enlistment age cap to 42. They’re currently the only service to do so, that I know of.

        Edit: As far as I know, the enlistment age cap for most other services is 39, and the officer candidacy age cap is 35. There’s variations and waivers though, depending on your situation.
