Don't let your age be the deciding factor of whether or not you chase your goals. Go out and get what you want! Personally I joined the Army late in life and I'm happy I did! As Always, Be good to yourself, treat yourself as a learner. If you're looking to improve your Math Score, check out gamonaltutors.com for the ASVAB Crash Course for the Mathphobic. This episode discusses joining the Military later in life. If you're 30 plus and anxious about joining the military (or passing the ASVAB) this episode is for you! Transcription follows:   Mickey Gamonal: What's up, everybody. My name is Mickey Gamonal. And this is ASVAB Domination Pro. Today, I'm talking to you guys about joining the military at an older age. So I get this question a lot. A lot of people are trying to join the military at later points in life. And for me, this is very near and dear to my heart. I joined the military at just about 30. And so I was a little bit on the older side. Some folks in my barracks were closer to 35 or even later. So if you're a little bit on the older side and you're still considering joining the military, I want to tell you, that's going to be okay. The military is still totally fine if you join in your late 20s or mid-30s and even in some cases in your late 30s. My personal story goes a little something like this. I joined because I was about to turn 30. So you could consider this kind of like a quarter-life crisis. I knew that it was an either now or never moment. So I knew that I was going to keep getting older. I had just recovered from an ACL surgery, meaning that my knee was all broken up. And luckily, I had insurance. So I was able to get the knee replaced. My ACL got a donor in there and recovered and everything like that. And so once the surgery was done, I still had to do like a ton of paperwork. I had to get like this huge stack of papers for my recruiter and I had to come up with 10 years of work history. For someone like me, it's kind of hard when I spent two years in Morocco doing Peace Corps, and a lot of time, just kind of bouncing around from job to job. Also, one of the big things was the student loan repayment program. That was one of the reasons that I joined the military is because I had a lot of student loans out on myself. So I ended up joining the military right around 29 to 30 and I'm happy I did. But it's not super easy to do. It's something that you have to be pretty serious about doing. You have to follow up with your recruiter and make sure that all your paperwork's done. And then, redo all your paperwork a couple of times and there are a lot of hoops to jump through. But if you're patient with it, and you're serious about it, it's something that can change your life. And I'm happy that I went through basic training. I'm really happy that I went through officer candidate school, and I think it's made me a better person spending time doing hard things. It just makes me a little bit more stable. So even at 30, 35, or more, there are still things that you can learn from military service. But there are some difficult things as well. One of those is the recruitment process. There's just so much history that you have and recruiters kind of struggle with working with older folks. I don't think recruiters would actively say this but a lot of times you get the feeling that a recruiter would rather work with an eighteen-year-old because they don't have any history. They're really easy to do the paperwork for.
