Good News For Bush Backers of The Iraq Invasion!! - The Orange Mane

Enlistment age has been raised to 42 so even you grandmas and grandpas can show how much you really support Bush's grudge match in Iraq now.

This should be great news for Tensi and Errant! Now they can get in there and start killing people within 4 months or so.

Grandma, 41, among Army's older recruits
By SUSANNE M. SCHAFER, Associated Press Writer 37 minutes ago

FORT JACKSON, S.C. - Margie Black had wanted to enter the military as a teenager, but having her first child at 19 put off her ambitions. So when she learned the Army raised its enlistment age, Black, now a 41-year-old grandmother from West Columbia, Texas, didn't hesitate to join. The decision took "about 30 seconds," she said.

On Friday, Pvt. Black worked on her marksmanship skills here, while her 21-year-old daughter was at Army basic training at Fort Leonard Wood, Mo.

"I'm taking it one day at a time," Black said. "If I do that, I can handle it."

Older soldiers like her are showing up more often at Army training bases across the country since Congress gave the service approval earlier this year to raise its enlistee age limit, which had been 35, to just under 42 years.

"We're finding there's a lot of people out there that wanted to join, and age was their only disqualifier," said Leslie Ann Sully, a spokeswoman for the Army's local recruiting battalion near Fort Jackson.

"Lots of people (over 35) are fit and are living longer, and they figure they can do this," Sully said.

The change came as the Army fell well short of its recruiting goals last year. It needs to bring in 80,000 recruits this year and is pushing a package of higher enlistment bonuses and pay levels for certain jobs, as well as financial incentives for former soldiers to re-enlist.

The limit to enter the part-time Army Reserve was raised to 40 in March 2005 and the Army raised it to 40 for active duty in January. Then, both organizations raised it to 42 in June.

Don't forget angrydrama.

He believes Operation Iraqi Handjob is a holy crusade of sorts. Perhaps now he can demonstrate the courage of his convictions by volunteering his services to our strapped armed forces and by fighting in a war he claims is vital to America's security (instead of merely attacking the patriotism of Bush critics on the Internet.)
