I am really surprised that you were accepted at 31. If you review your discussions with your recruiter, you’ll probably find that you were accepted to fill a specialist need the recruiter had. Based on the limited information available, I suspect they want you as a teacher. In this case, either Army or Air Force, or any other Service will be about the same for you. Military Service is a good profession. If nothing else, you should know that every serviceman knows the value of freedom and democracy. This alone is a good reason to join. Best of luck to you.

They said they accept until 35 yrs old and the recruiter didn't say a thing about teaching (I don't know how teaching 3rd graders would transfer to the military!).
I am just worried they will say one thing and then I'll end up pulling clerical duty on my one weekend a month. That does not appeal to me.

We had some 30+ year olds in my basic training unit, it was like training with your Dad....
