[QUOTE="Creding, post: 3875555, member: 51194"] He'd better be in EXCELLENT shape going in, and I can tell you from first hand experience, war is a young man's game. I went into the infantry at the age of 32, and it was beyond tough. I made it, but there is a reason there is an age cut off. Plus, it is a lot harder on your major joints, no matter the age, so count on knee and neck problems down the road. Shoulders too if he's not lucky. He will also possibly/probably be older than his drill sergeants. That gets interesting. Mentally, he should be OK, but his age and current condition needs to be honestly looked at. [/QUOTE]
