Yes. Age 34, asthmatic.

I have a 4 yo son, so I'd only go for 6 months at time.

Sure I would. And my daughter leaves for OTS July 5th. I'll be a USAF dad and damn proud too.

Yes, I'm too old but there is a lot I can do to help the effort.

I'm a 53 year old Viet Vet and I'm ready, even if I have to wait for the war to come to me. I'd go back in an instant.

I'm 57 got out in 1969, So there's no hope.


That said I have never, ever been prouder of our military and the principled stand taken by President Bush. I wish I could re-enlist I would do it today.

Yes. I talked to a recruiter, but some issues prevented me from being able to re-take the plunge.

My resume = 29J, 29S, 39T, 63W - I figured at least the last one had a need!

Let me put it this way: I seriously regret that I don't have the opportunity to go.

I have said this repeatedly....in my heart and closest loved ones. I am 50 and still have young boys at home. I would go tomorrow. I mean that with my very soul.

At age 48, my IRR status as a Navy Reserve CDR/05 just "expired" (i.e. 24 yrs since I was first commissioned). Reason I didn't return to (at least) voluntary "Select Reserve" was that I was 30-40 lbs over weight. (Hard to get down to 210 lbs when you're 6'2" and over 40 yrs.)

Yeah, I'd return to active duty tomorrow, in a heart beat, if they wanted me. I have regrets...
