Oh dear god.
Had a former Marine join our unit after 22years out of service and kept his E5/Sgt. when he got back in too. :-/
"We did it this way back when..."
"Thats not how we did it..."
"I think we...."
"Oorah!"
It got ******* old fast. Heres a 46yr old guy who's been out of service joining back up to a different branch. Talk about out of place.
If you do do it, please dont come back in acting like God himself and not listening to anyone.

Well keep in mind that todays army is MUCH different than how it was back then. Now, as you know, the army treats different people different ways. Some can handle it, some can't. Out of everyone i've talked to in the Army now most of them (i'd say 90% if not more) want out.

go get the pension. Your to old for active combat so do it.
But if your doing it to get back in the fight make sure you can keep up . be an asset not a hassle
