SPC Josh Tharp 6264176 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>As a slightly older prior service enlistment (I&#39;m currently 37 years old) from the ARNG, I have barely a need for an age waiver given my active duty time from an activation and my ARNG time. <br /><br />I am scheduled for the MEPS physical on Thursday to enlist in the Active Army. I&#39;m curious if they would spend the time and resources to conduct the physical if the necessary people hadn&#39;t already looked at the age waiver and intended to approve it.<br /><br />Thanks in advance! Would MEPS waste their time with a physical if they weren't prepared to approve my age waiver? 2020-08-31T16:21:36-04:00 SPC Josh Tharp 6264176 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>As a slightly older prior service enlistment (I&#39;m currently 37 years old) from the ARNG, I have barely a need for an age waiver given my active duty time from an activation and my ARNG time. <br /><br />I am scheduled for the MEPS physical on Thursday to enlist in the Active Army.

Regardless of age or status of enlistment....first termers and prior service. We all do the duck walk again.

They minus my previous years of service from my age and I was able to come back in with no issues. I already had 8yrs of previous service.

Isn&#39;t the rule still being able to serve 20 years before age 60? Even with no credit for the Guard time, and it does help, you should have a three year window.
