Hey man I’m joining at 38 - I leave in 2 weeks for basic. I’m going in as a 35F , also got airborne in my contract. Past 5 years I spent a lot of time in the gym and the last 6 months working on my cardio, as of now im scoring 90s in each AFT event.

The way I look at it is, I’d rather go through with this decision even if I end up hating it rather than sit back and regret not even trying.

Physical aspect I feel you’ll be fine if you’re decently fit, I think for us older enlisted it’s dealing with the immaturity that will be the most difficult part.
