On May 2nd, it will have been 16yrs since I got out of the US Navy. Well I have visited the recruiting office for the Army National Guard and then passed the physical. If I get my waiver (Please let it be so!), then I am good to go.
I gotta admit, I am nervous. But not for the usual reasons that many people think (Iraq, Afghanista). I am nervous because I am not a young man anymore and worry about keeping up. I am nervous because it has been a long time since I been out and I don't know what may have changed. I also know that the Army National Guard will be different from the Navy, a different military culture (rank structure, regulations, uniform, etc.) that I will have to learn.
Any other veterans here, past the age of 35yo, thinking of going back to the service?
