I havent joined yet, and Im wondering if it is difficult to become an officer after being enlisted . And does the age requirement still stand after your enlisted? Im 37 now, If I enlist, is it possible, impossible for me to become an officer?

    age requirements do not change but you do get credited for your AD enlisted time when seeking a commission.

    as for easy/hard: that's up to you and your qualifications. if you do not have a 4 year degree now you will NOT be able to get one while serving AD in time to make the age cut off, unless you are very close to getting the degree now and can get lucky enough to get a duty station that permits you the time to continue your studies.

    The age limit for enlisting is 42, and I think that the officer side would probably be the same. I think doctors and lawyers can be older.

    As far as going from enlisted to officer, if you have a college degree you just go to the Officer Candidate school, same as anybody else.

    With you point of guidance, you're able to no longer be finding at enlisted in any respect. seem at going to officer candidate college. in case you enlist, you artwork your way as much as a management place, yet stepping into as an officer will placed you in a management place from day one. seem at our government. you do no longer hear that a lot of them have been team sergeants. You hear that they've been Captains, Majors, Colonels and Generals. in case you do take this direction, basically undergo in ideas that your NCO's be attentive to plenty extra suitable than you do.
