Interesting. I doubt this is going to help enlistment numbers, but I suppose something is better than nothing. The military is getting desperate. This is sad.
Here's a quote from the article:
Physical standards will not be relaxed for older recruits, who the Army said were valued for their maturity and patriotism.
Now I joined when I was 19 and physically speaking boot camp was no joke even for a 19 year old. How on earth a 39 year old will manage that I don't know. Unless they're a professional athlete or something.

And exactly how many militant lesbians do you know? 🙂

I would volunteer in a minute, but I doubt they have the imagination to use a 57 year old programmer/framer.
Too bad. I think I could at least teach these to kids.
