I spoke with an Army Nat'l Guard recruiter the other day, he said that the re-enlistment bonus for certain Army personnel is $15000, and the Army is now taking people as old as 40 for initial entry (old age limit was 34) and with prior service, you can re-enter the Army at up to 60 (yes, sixty) years old.
Enlistment bonuses for Infantry, truck driving and other specialties are 15K, and even cooks (!) get 10K for signing up.
Sign of the times?

I find that a bit hard to believe. I went to goarmy.com to verify...all I found was that if you are a dentist over 47 years of age you can apply for a waiver to age restrictions. 60?...hard to swallow.

I went to the Go Army website....nothing there to support your assertion.

As I've stated twice now, I spoke directly to a recruiter for this information. Going to "goarmy.com" twice isn't speaking to a recruiter, so you've failed to verify or not verify the information I put on the site.

Fred, as anyone who has ever served in the military, we all know the recruiters arent the most "honest" individuals when it comes to getting info. I am sure the goarmy website would have the correct info on it. why is it hard to believe that maybe your recruiter was ill-informed?
who knows, maybe both are wrong?

I just talked to the local recruiter - no sixty year olds.
Sorry, using the army for a retirement job isn't going to work.

I'd be the first to agree that recruiters aren't forthcoming with the correct info (aka, they lie)
But this an older guy speaking to several older men whose children are grown, so there was no reason for him to try to persuade anyone.
And personally, I don't believe everything I see on the internet.

Damn, and I'd hoped to be humping a 50lb pack and shootin Iraqis in another 20-25 years. Crap.

Ditto, dude. YOU'VE failed to verify the information.

Why wouldn't you believe the information given to you on a nationally known and sponsered site by the U.S. Army. And you will believe an Army recruiter who probably has the worst reputation for lying? Either way it's besides the point since Yogs already talked to a recruiter.

I'm someone who has been at this forum way more longer than you have. learn some respect and forum ettiquette.
also, if you read the post a few above yours, lets see, oh yeah, it says that Yogs, a very well respected moderator found out that it applies to a certain field only. thats where it was settled.
and further more, if you need to make yourself look further more like a newb, feel free to PM me.
