Age Limit

[Hawkeye]

Hello all

          My name is James and I'm a new member here after being in the transport industry driving for many many years ive realized that there will be no advancment for me nor a challenge and thats why i have decided to enroll in the military i am presently 38 yrs old and in decent shape will my age create a problem in joining the forces?


                            Regards
