34 and going to RTC

[Robertson]

I just turned 33. Going to MEPS on Thursday....lol...I guess I'll be joining the grandpa club too! Oh wow, really, a grandpa?...lol

Turned 34 in BC. I was worried as well, but somehow i blend in pretty well. Most of my shipmates were shocked to find out my age. Just because i was afraid to fail my PFA i did better than many 18 year olds ( 30 push ups, 70 sit ups, 13.04 run). We had a 39 year old in our division. She was an ex cop, so she really kicked some ass. I wish somebody gave me heads up about the age.

Hi guys. Another "grandpa" showing up to this thread.
I will go to bootcamp on November 18, 2014 with 34 years.
I was wondering if someone "grandpish" will
go on those days.

Well...looks like I got everyone beat! I'll be going in at 39!!!
It's only for the reserves, but at least I'll be able to fulfill a 20 year old dream.

I juts have to work on dropping some more body fat and I'll be set.
If everything falls into place, I hope to ship out in July or August.

I know I am WAY late on this thread, but I am 34 and just now going thru all the steps to enlist. Like you I will only be in reserve being that I have a daughter in high school and want to see her do a lot of things though. Reading this is definitely refreshing though. Lets me know that there are lots of older adults that go to BC.

i will be 35 and at RTC for active. I know I will be one of the older ones there. I can hope I get a good div, not one full of immature little kids

Shipping out 20150303 as a MM, unless my DAR gets approved. Either way, RTC will be what you make it. Going in at our ages = tolerance! Yes, we will be surrounded by people much younger than us, but I also feel that we'll be better prepared for a leadership role in RTC...if you so desire.

I just hope I don't get punished too bad or too often being surrounded by immaturity....even at 39, I can still get myself in enough trouble as it is
