I’m gonna be 25 when i leave for basic. Multiple people have told me people are joining the army at an older age than they used to.

Would yall say this is true?

Ive worked in the non union plumbing for a couple years. A lot of the people are older and the job is very boring and slow. I don’t really have much going for me in my hometown and I just need to get out.

Is this a valid reason to join? (Army)
