I’m in my mid 30s and make 6 figures in IT. I’m considering joining the Air Force Reserves. Is this a stupid idea?

I always regretted not enlisting in my 20s as I feel a strong personal drive to serve my country. I feel that a part time enlistment would fill that void. Any thoughts or experiences are appreciated.

    42 is the cutoff to enlist for the Air Force Reserve.

    To join the Air Force Reserve, you must be between the ages of 17 and have not reached your 42nd birthday, a current U.S. citizen, and have obtained either a high school diploma or GED. Applicants can’t have any serious law violations or drug use or serious health problems.

    Info here about 3/4 down the page under the Questions section.

      Ah, thank you for official details kind stranger!

      I know I’m not OP, but I’m about to be 42 in less than a month.
