Age 50, Had lottery number 26 but they only got up to 21 that year. Didn't volunteer then but would have gone if called............In hindsight wish I had volunteered. Definate yes now with more wisdom.
Sure.....but I'd have to be a trigger-puller.
GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!
49, AF Ret.
I'd go. I need the exercise anyway. LOL
I'd go back as a SP-5, if they would take a 52 year old.
I've actually given some light thought to going as a contractor, but am scared of getting killed (by my wife).
I actually looked into the various reserves/guard options a few weeks ago and I appear to be too old (38).
Yes.
"Take a look at this; we're surrounded by wonderful people!"
Yes, I know. :) It's why I love FR so much.
HUP SARG.! Count me in with those Screamin Bald Eagles.
I would do whatever they would let an old man do.
Geronimo.
Age 60. I would go in a femtosecond if I could be of help. I am learning Aribic....maybe...
Yes I would go. I have thought about this a lot and even although I an over age and would have to find someone to look after my kids I would go if they would have me. I would want to fight in Afghanistan or Iraq. I could drive a hummer or fire a 50 calibre. Can I bring my own steel plate to beef up the hummer?
Actually this is kind of like how I found out about 9/11. I was walking down to the local shops when I overheard a guy in his mid 50's very angry and wishing he could find a recruitment office to join the army! I realised something big must have happened .... I found our soon after.
You knew this was going to be a problem once they called it a "war on terror" instead of a war against specific enemies of the United States.
As soon as the phrase "war on terror" appeared in the media, you knew it wasn't going to be any more successful than those other idiotic wars against nebulous, unspecified enemies . . . "war on poverty," "war on drugs," "war on illiteracy," etc., etc.
Wanted to add that husband would go, too. And my two young sons, ages 10 and 8, often say they wish they could be soldiers and help defend our freedom. They often include our military members in their prayers. God bless the USA!
Just because you're too young or old to serve under arms doesn't mean that your support won't be noticed or appreciated by those that do.
Yup.......even though some of us cant do what we ustah......we can free up some of those that can and get there arses out there performing.....
Why waste good burlap, when lead works just fine!
Thanks for making my case for me.
Yep.
I too am 41 , I will go , I want some of that ultra radical placing panties on the head of terrorists action. I hear it's the crulest of the cruel.
