So, you're saying the Army can't use a perfectly educated 45-year-old in some sort of job?
If you hold some type of professional degree in certain area's we may make exceptions...Dentist, Doctor, Lawyer, otherwise..NOPE.

We are not bound by the same laws that you are due to the job. When someone calls me and is interested in learning about our opportunities I ask them things that you would be sued silly for. I ask their HT/WT, Medical History, Criminal History, if they are married or single, how many kids they have, their sex (yes we only let men do certain jobs...) and their financial background....all of which you can't do...heheheh
