“Increases the maximum enlistment age up to and including age 42 for non-prior service applicants” (previously maximum age was 35)

“Eliminates requirement of a waiver for a single conviction of possession of marijuana or a single conviction of possession of drug paraphernalia”

zippyman55• 4 months ago

They are having problems meeting the fitness standard right now. It seems these tests just get harder as you age.

hsbauauvhabzb• 4 months ago

Presumably a 42 year old who can meet the fitness tests will be a better candidate than a 25 year old who cannot. Less 42 year olds will be able to meet the requirements, but the ones that do are what they’re after.

kibwen• 4 months ago

Note that fitness standards are bracketed by age, so the standards themselves get more lenient as age increases. The standards in question: https://www.goarmy.com/content/dam/goarmy/files/HQDA_EXORD_2...

yoyohello13• 4 months ago

The standards are really not that hard for someone who works out regularly. Which, if you’re joining the army you should probably be going to the gym.

michaelteter4• 4 months ago

If you’re being drafted, chances are you had no desire to be joining the army.

Finding it hard to compete with the rigorous ICE recruitment standards?

rdtsc• 4 months ago

What would this have to do with ICE? Isn’t that DHS?

ricksunny2• 4 months ago

Same recruitment pool (like same "hiring pool" / market segment). Therefore, competing.

kay_o• 4 months ago

I think it is a joke of there is no requirement's ..

snowchaser• 4 months ago

I think they mean (sarcastically) that ICE is sucking up all the qualified candidates.

tjpnz3• 4 months ago

Run: 1.5-mile run in 14 minutes 25 seconds or less

Hilarious.

_345• 4 months ago

That's about a 8:30 mile scaling for the fact that its harder when you have to cover more distance... seems pretty reasonable to me as a fitness baseline for the army. I would struggle to make that now but if I had one month to prep I could clear that

whatever1• 4 months ago

I don’t think someone completely untrained can do 10’ / mile.

scubadude• 4 months ago

A 29 minute 5K is not trivial

somenameforme3• 4 months ago

I'm not sure if you're saying this as somebody who never runs, or somebody who runs so often that you've forgotten baseline levels. That's a very significant hurdle for most people. I'm in very good shape strength wise, but I'd almost certainly need to do some significant training to meet that since I just never run.

bryanlarsen• 4 months ago

How many young men do you know who have never tried marijuana, don't have a tattoo and don't have facial hair? A few years ago it seemed the Army didn't actually want to recruit young men. They loosened the tattoo requirements in 2022. The facial hair requirement remains, but that's less of an imposition since you can grow it back.

They'll have to start taking harassment seriously if they want to recruit more young women.

TurdF3rguson3• 4 months ago

They'll have to start taking harassment seriously if they want to recruit more young women.

Yeah, um.. about that...

janalsncm• 4 months ago

The document seems to be about convictions for marijuana possession, not usage.

TJSomething• 4 months ago

Given Sec. Hegseth's record, I don't think he really wants women in the military.

aaronbrethorst4• 4 months ago

Given Sec. Hegseth’s tattoos, I don’t think he wants himself in there either

HWR_14• 4 months ago

There are limits on gang tattoos, face/neck/hand tattoos and tattoos that promote various hate-based or extremist ideologies (e.g. Nazi or KKK tattoos.) Other than that, tattoos are allowed.

tencentshill• 4 months ago

What does Deus Vult qualify as?

michaelteter4• 4 months ago

wafflemaker• 4 months ago

I don't know about the facial hair. It would take me months to grow back my moustache, and until then I'd look 10 years younger. Given my age that would be pretty ridiculous.

simoncion2• 4 months ago

I don't know about the facial hair.

Facial hair prevents the proper functioning of gas masks and other sorts of PPE that sits on your face. Hypothetically speaking, [0] I'd rather deal with looking like a minor than with getting a snoot and face full of something dreadfully toxic.

[0] Hypothetical because I'm way too old to ever be confused with a minor again.

LMYahooTFY5• 4 months ago

Facial hair doesn't matter, you're just required to shave.

Tattoos don't matter unless they're in a particular set of extremes.

Marijuana also really doesn't matter, it's easily waiverable if you didn't have a chronic problem recently.

Harassment is so heavily punished in the military I don't think you're informed on this topic beyond a few wild headlines.

It's extremely common knowledge that harassing women will ruin your military career very quickly.

mmooss2• 4 months ago

It's extremely common knowledge that harassing women will ruin your military career very quickly.

Sexual assault rates remain high, afaik. How do those things all make sense? Are they just not investigating/punishing these problems?

ricksunny2• 4 months ago

I wonder how many of Gulf War II's 17-19-year-olds they'll get to re-enlist.

jmyeet2• 4 months ago

So I know you're making a joke/statement about how the post-9/11 volunteers got royally screwed over and are (understandably) disillusioned with war but I just wanted to add something here.

This change increases maximum enlistment age. Maximum reenlistment age is something else entirely. To reenlist, you need to be able to complete 20 years of service by age 62. So if you joined at 18 and did 8 years then you can technically rennlist up to age 50. Not that you would or should but you can.

shartshooter• 4 months ago

When I joined the army as an infantryman back in the early 2000s there were kids who couldn’t start basic training because they weren’t capable of doing 6 pushups. 6.

I believe at the time they were allowing 38 year olds to join for the first time which seemed crazy to me. Now that I’m in my early 40s I can’t imagine going back in

michaelteter4• 4 months ago

If they want to draft any significant number of people, they will have to greatly lower the fitness standards.

pogue2• 4 months ago

They should just deploy ICE.

randycupertino2• 4 months ago

Lucky for us Pete Hegseth declared war on "fat generals and admirals" and is going to end fat troops and increase fitness standards! /s

https://thehill.com/policy/defense/5528556-hegseth-warrior-e...

“Frankly, it’s tiring to look out at combat formations, or really any formation, and see fat troops,” he said. “Likewise, it’s completely unacceptable to see fat generals and admirals in the halls of the Pentagon leading commands around the country and the world.”

“It’s a bad look. It is bad, and it’s not who we are,” he continued.

“I don’t want my son serving alongside troops who are out of shape, or in a combat unit with females who can’t meet the same combat arms physical standards as men” Hegseth said.

TimorousBestie3• 4 months ago

The US military is in the process of changing fitness standards, mostly for ideological reasons [0]. Most enlisted I’ve spoken to consider the new tests harder, especially for women, but it isn’t clear cut and implementation across services has been weird.

Rumor is they’re also cracking down on (specifically medical, not religious) shaving waviers again, probably because some minorities have a skin condition that makes regular shaving painful.

So it’s a bit of a conundrum! They obviously want more enlisted so they can do more wars in more places, but they also are adding disincentives for female or nonwhite enlisted.

silisili3• 4 months ago

Surprised comments are so negative. I think it's a great thing to expand - the military can be an excellent career path, and this allows more people to take it should they choose.

I know many 40 somethings in way better shape than most 20 somethings. And all things considered, if I were someday somehow sent off to war, I'd much rather be surrounded by the former assuming equivalent fitness.

nemomarx• 4 months ago

I think the timing makes it harder to view this optimistically? although for voluntary enlistment I'm not personally concerned yeah.

Yeah it sounds great if you make up positive scenarios in your head for sure

gotwaz• 4 months ago

chii2• 4 months ago

Surprised comments are so negative

it's because people cannot disassociate their own anti-war views with the benefits of a military career.

soulofmischief2• 4 months ago

Are you admonishing people for not being selfish and making decisions which benefit themselves even if it puts them in a position where they can't say no to wronging someone else?

applfanboysbgon2• 4 months ago

What does this even mean? "If you just ignore the fact that your job is murdering people for no reason, the benefits are great!" Why, exactly, should people "disassociate" that?

crooked-v• 4 months ago

Becoming an E-1 at age 40 isn't a "career path", it's a last resort for somebody who for whatever reason can't make more than $30K/year with the skills they've gained over the last 25 years, and for whom having functioning knees is less important than needing the money.

silisili3• 4 months ago

So they should just age out in poverty and die? Such people exist. To be clear, I'm 1000% against anything resembling a draft, but if an older person wants to, why stop them? A guy in my brother's medical doctor graduation class was 46 years old. Good thing nobody explained to him it was too late and he failed already.

In all seriousness, I do agree about the functioning knees part. But as long as it's voluntary, I don't see the downside.

toast03• 4 months ago

They had 40 years of functioning knees, but it didn't get them to a place where army wages or army housing looks good. If the army breaks their knees, maybe they can get service related disability.

koolala• 4 months ago

most career paths don't kill you for oil

tdeck3• 4 months ago

Why not just join ICE? The acts you might have to commit there are probably less bad than what the military gets up to, and you don't get sent overseas?

How many 40 year olds are looking for a career path as an infantryman?

unemployment and rising inflation make for a convincing force. Gotta provide somehow.

budman13• 4 months ago

ain't nobody going 11B (infantry) at age 40.

maybe aviation electronics, or supply, medical.

marching with a pack and a gun ruins 20 year old knees.

If you start at 40, then you will lack the rank to ride in the truck.

It's midnight in the US on a workday, what would be more American than non-Americans complaining about America on American social media?

pamcake• 4 months ago

Many people look for purpose and impact in their careers.

If one has impact in the military, what purpose is it serving under current administration and leadership? It's a hard sell from an ethical perspective.

Jobs that feel purposeless is a common complaint but actively serving evil?

tdeck3• 4 months ago

I feel like there was a 14 word phrase that described the purpose, but I can't remember it right now...

soulofmischief2• 4 months ago

America is a very big place. It is nearly 4 million square miles, and has a population of over 340 million people.

Next time you start to generalize about "Americans" exhibiting some kind of unified belief or behavior, just stop and think about how stupid that is.

llmthrow0827• 4 months ago

Seems like they're having trouble recruiting people to serve as America launches headlong into GWOT 2.0 with no plan. It makes sense that people aren't signing up: it's a very unpopular war that was started by assassinating leaders during peace talks and bombing an elementary school, and it's not one they're winning.

And it's also a war with no clear benefit to Americans, which Marco Rubio admitted they were dragged into by Israel.

franczesko• 4 months ago

UltraSane2• 4 months ago

I think smart people do NOT want to enlist while Trump is Commander in Chief and Hegseth is in charge of the Military. The way the crew of the USS Ford have been treated is despicable.

Bender4• 4 months ago

I get why you are saying that but historically those that enlisted ended up with better roles and less likely to serve in the infantry unless of course one wish to do that. This of course assumes the draft is actually utilized.

deepsun• 4 months ago

Well, I'm old enough to remember many "peace talks" go to eternity wit absolutely zero results. In many countries around the world. Just to create the argument.

Yes, and still note, about using the word "winning". Jeannette Rankin: "You can no more win a war, than you can win an earthquake"

benterix• 4 months ago

You can no more win a war, than you can win an earthquake

This is quite clear for younger people who grew in an interconnected world. But some old folks (73 y.o., 79 y.o.) seem to live in the old world where winning, or an illusion of it, is still a thing.

tempodox2• 4 months ago

If the war keeps Trump in office, it has fulfilled its purpose and will be counted a win.

This is why I suspect that Israel might at least have encouragement from the U.S., direct or indirect.

tastyface• 4 months ago

Why would the war keep Trump in office? It is widely unpopular.

xbmcuser• 4 months ago

We are slowly grinding towards another world war the reason similar to world war 2. Ie an ethno state expanding it's territory while considering it's population as some kind of master race so commiting a genocide against the rest. Ironic the victims have become the perpetuators.

That is why we vote. Canvas your neighborhood. Start local. Go to your city counsel meetings. Tell your representatives what you think or even run for local office. Support the people that won't take us to war. Democracy works when people participate.

Sometimes unjustified wars can have pretty big up-sides though. Preventing jihadists from getting nukes for example is potentially a huge up-side.

What will US public do if US in Iran ends up like Russia in Ukraine, recruiting 30K soldiers every month to die in middle east?

Maybe at this time they are having trouble recruiting but just like Russia US has large prison population that may like the offer thar Russian prisoners got: 6 months on the frontlines, if you survive you are free and well paid.

Just today Iran backed militants released a video of drones takings out US helicopters and radars, very similar to what we are used to seeing in Ukraine.

Is US public really ready to support such a thing and endure hardship like the Russians for ideological causes?

It’s fascinating, maybe Trump is right- maybe his supporters are literally tired of winning and want attrition?

BobbyJo2• 4 months ago

I don't think the US has the culture to support this. I do not think Trump has the political capital to support this.

Assuming elections still happen, that scenario would mean the end of the Republican party.

mrtksn5• 4 months ago

I used to think the same but according to the polls I keep seeing the support for war seems to be very strong, up to %100 among MAGA in fact.

They used to say they are against war, against "jewish influence", against this against that but nothing seems to be changing their minds. I thought that this high ranking MAGA dude who resign over "Israel influence concerns" and immediately did rounds on the MAGA-sphere popular outlets doesn't seem to have any influence on the support for the war.

They don't appear to be ideologues but demagogues. Maybe its some more primal urge to kill and get killed and Trump has control over it?

ars2• 4 months ago

of drones takings out US helicopters

They attacked a HH-60M Medevac helicopter which is a war crime, and also explains why it wasn't protected.

Also, the radar was Iraqi, although possibly jointly operated with the US.

mrtksn5• 4 months ago

No one cares about war crimes since years, US itself is allied in this war with credibly alleged war criminals. Besides, there's much to do against drones reaching a base other than locking down the gear in reinforced building and that's not practical when the gear is used which means whatever is on the open gets blown up. The Russians were putting tires on the wings, it did not help much.

analognoise3• 4 months ago

Bombing boats of Venezuela was a war crime: https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/are-deadly-us-strikes...

toast03• 4 months ago

In Vietnam, there were 58k US dead for the whole war. US military dead in WWII was 400k. 30K dead/month gets you to WWII losses in a little over a year. US dead in Afghanistan and Iraq was much less.

I'm wrong about a lot of things, but I don't think the US public would accept losses on the order of 30k/month: there would be massive demonstrations and congress would likely act to cause disengagement.

jmyeet2• 4 months ago

The military has spent decades working on a general aptitude test, called the ASVAB [1]. It's a score up to 99, which is usually what people focus on, but there are also line scores for things like electrical and mechanical. When you join, there'll be a score range you'll need to be in and possibly certain subtest scores.

Generally speaking, you've needed a minimum ASVAB of 31 to join the military. Recruiting stations will have quotas of only accepting so many below 50 so if you're below 50 you may have a more restrictive choice of job, even though you qualify, because you're an undesirable candidate. You take up a valuable sub-50 slot. Oh and below 50 and the Air Force won't even sneeze on you. They don't have to take you. They have more than enough applicants.

This can go the other way too. You can score too high for certain jobs such that they won't want to sign you up because you'll get bored. This is way less common obviously.

Every area of the country is covered by a recruiting station ("RS") for each branch and is staffed by recruiters who usually aren't volunteers (eg most marines on a re-enlistment after an initial 4 years will have to do a Special Duty Assignment--SDA--and will end up as a recruiter or a drill instructor). Each recruiter will generally have a quota to fill of 2 contracts per month.

In some areas (eg Texas) this is no problem at all. Recruiters can be picky. In others, it's way more of a challenge. Anyway, a few years ago the enlistment numbers for the Navy must've gotten so bad that for awhile they were accepting an ASVAB of 10 [1]. 10 is bordering on illiterate.

I say this because raising the maximum enlistment age to 42 is almost as desperate as lowering the ASVAB minimum to 10. I cannot imagine a 42 year old E-! in basic getting yelled at by a 23 year old DI. You won't be doing 20 for the pension. I guess you'll get the GI Bill after 3-4 years. That's something I guess? Most other 42 year olds you'll meet will be near or beyond their 20 years.

In 2004, as a senior in high school, I tried enlisting in the Marines (infantry, what was I thinking based on the year). I scored 99 on the ASVAB (finished way earlier than everyone else) with a high SAT score as well.

Passed all the physicals at Fort Dix. I was rejected.

Soon after an Army recruiter called me and said they are willing to take me.

Someone told me I was rejected because of high test scores. I didn't really believe them, but it kind of makes sense.

toast03• 4 months ago

Someone told me I was rejected because of high test scores. I didn't really believe them, but it kind of makes sense.

Armed forces does a lot of tracking and they need a mix of people. It makes sense to try to get people into jobs that work for both the person and the seevice, and where the person is likely to stay (if the service wants you to). Marine infantry is an important and prestigious job, but it might not be something that would have kept your interest.

LMYahooTFY5• 4 months ago

This is based on nothing.

The raising of the recruitment age has nothing to with "desperation" (recruitment has been at a high) and everything to do with people living longer/healthier lives and the military has been handing out age waivers for years.

The max enlistment age has been de facto 42ish for a while, they're just getting rid of pointless paper work and obstacles that don't make sense.

vntx2• 4 months ago

I went into the armed forces recruiting office a year or two ago for Air Force Cyber and the adjacent Army and Navy recruiters were complaining that no one wanted to join while everyone was asking for Air Force when the Air Force recruiter was out for most of the year because he had met his quotas. Somehow I ended up in the Navy office and suffice to say I left the office with a big no to the Navy man no matter how much he tried to persuade me with promises of seeing the world. I have the internet for that thank you.

All my vet friends said to reconsider and I wisely followed their advice.

pianopatrick• 4 months ago

Maybe one of the lessons the American government learned from the war in Ukraine is that middle aged men can fight wars too.

jjk166• 4 months ago

There's a big difference between having older soldiers fighting a defensive war on home soil vs sending them overseas.

In the first scenario, you desperately need a lot of warm bodies, most of what these people would be otherwise doing has been shut down, if someone does perform a critical role in society at large, going back and forth is quick, and the alternative still potentially leads to you losing that person.

In the second scenario, recruiting middle aged people robs your economic/industrial/cultural base of its experience and mid-level leaders who are critical to stuff getting done. Substantial resources are spent training, moving, and sustaining these troops who are not as well suited as younger individuals, on top of the opportunity cost. Besides the people already in the military who have spent years gaining applicable military experience, those additional bodies are liabilities, not assets. An argument can be made for raising mandatory retirement age to keep those skills around, but not for new recruits.

Animats• 4 months ago

Up from 35 years. Average age is currently 22, though. Air Force and Space force went to 42 years back in 2023. The Navy went to 42 years in early 2026.

Maximum age for the Marines remains 28 years.

With high youth unemployment [1], it ought to be easier to recruit.

The land war is getting closer. The Army's 82nd Airborne has been sent towards Iran. Possibly to take Kharg Island, one of the very few objectives for which an airdrop might possibly make sense.[1] Possibly. 2nd Marine Expeditionary Force is already on the way.

Who wouldn't want to join an organization led by people with Christian Nationalist tattoos, into yet another war in the Middle East, for Operation: Epstein Distraction, AND Israel decides when we go to war? (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3pL_ZCWPz0)

I'm sure they'll have no trouble recruiting the kinds of people they want - no woke, no DEI, no women, nobody who'd be troubled by symbols of swastikas or nooses (https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2025/11/20/...).

Hey, for the people who DO sign up, they'll get to use Trump Drones! Well, Trump's sons drones (https://www.wsj.com/politics/national-security/trump-sons-ba...). Those big juicy contracts were definitely awarded on merit, right? Right; good luck!

Join up! You can defend our "freedoms". Like the freedom to have ICE ignore the Constitution! We can do war crimes (bombing boats of Venezuela) now! The FCC threatens talk show hosts, and Pete Hegseth has opinions on the Scouts having girls in it (https://www.war.gov/News/News-Stories/Article/Article/441701...) but remember: they hate us for our FREEDOM. ( some conditions apply. )

Maybe the Air Force? Well, if you like Erika Kirk and White Christian Nationalism: (https://theintercept.com/2026/03/19/air-force-academy-charli...).

[rumor] It's not like sailors are so desperate to get out of this situation that they'd set fire to the laundry room on an aircraft carrier... right?(https://news.usni.org/2026/03/23/carrier-uss-gerald-r-ford-a...)
