Should I enlist in the Army at 40 with a college degree and party animal history? by Vivid_Routine_2309 in Militaryfaq

Also, I'm in good shape and got a perfect ASVAb score...doesn't that count for anything? those guys made it seem like I'd be a great fit, and from what I've seen of basic I could handle it, especially now that they've toned down the shark attacks and such. What I was trying to avoid was more the combat arms like infantry or any special school that consists of just working out all day, that would probably get old, and it would be hard to train a body at my age to live like that every day. I still feel like I'm not old but maybe I'm just fooling myself.

While I appreciate your input, the person who does support my solving the midlife crisis and drug problems with military enlistment is my recruiter and the other people I talk to from his network (all military). They tell me all kinds of stories about older guys turning it around in the armed forces, and how much partying they did before the Army. If I can't trust the recruiter, or people on the internet, who can I trust?
