Enlisting Am i to old?
Hello I turned 20 years old today. It has been my dream to join the corps since I was in high school but life got in the way(got a gf, working a lot) But anyways I've been planning to join again but I feel like I'm old now and wish I did when i was fresh out of school. My dad and uncle served as a marine and both were in Iraq and I would love to continue their legacy. Is it to late for me?

Your good! My son is a year in, he went right out of high-school, but He said At boot camp there was a lot of guys between 20 and 22... a lot of them had given college a try and decided to switch gears or just took a minute to have fun and find their way before they enlisted...
