I was just wondering if anyone has heard how long the new age ceiling for the military will last?? I heard that this was just a temporary fix to help the military get out of the hole and that it isn't expected to last very long. I guess with most things military - it could all change tomorrow. I am trying to plan out the next couple years of school and then plan to try to be commissioned into the ANC. I'm wondering if we can at least expect the age increase to last for the next 5 years?? I have about 6-7 years to play with if it stays the way it is - plus I'm prior USMC - so I've heard that service time will be deducted from my chronological age - all good points if the current situation holds for awhile.
I'm debating these points to try and decide if I should go ahead and enlist in the Army as an LPN (91wm6) and hope I can finish my RN school and then RN tp BSN or hold out until I get my RN and then go reserve as a commissioned officer. My real goal is too be commissioned into the ANC and do the long haul - and retire with the full benefit package.
Any thoughts, anyone??
