@@ReprintYGO That you will get. You'll probably be OK with the physical side of things, but at the age of 31 you don't have much stupid left in you. The mental side is going to be rough.

Hey good on ya brother, never to late to join. My roommate went to bootcamp when he was 26 and I joined when I was 17, so different perspectives. From what he's told me about his experience prepare for one of the biggest mental challenges of your life. Bootcamp is an experience unlike anything else. Especially as an older dude the "games" the DI's will play might hit you harder than the younger recruits. Prepare to be treated like a child, thats the best way I can say it. Everything will be broken down barney style for you and it will undoubtedly irritate you. Especially when someone doesn't seem to get it. As the oldest guy there people will naturally tend to look up to you at least a little. Be that leader and help the young guys out when they fail. You will most definitely get messed with more because your older. That's because the DI's are going to expect you to lead. And remember this is only 3 months of your life, and dont count down the days, that wrecked with my head. Live every day chow to chow, lights to lights, soon enough you'll be on the parade deck graduating. Good luck to ya brother!

Hey man, Marine Veteran here. Make sure when you get to boot camp that you volunteer for everything you can.

Horrible advice. Former Marine here, too. He's already going to stick out like a sore thumb and will definitely be the oldest on the entire depot. His best strategy is to work his butt off but NOT to do anything more to draw attention to himself; like volunteering for special positions and/or responsibilities. He should try to fly under the radar in Boot Camp and save that extra stuff for after Boot Camp. Volunteering for additional responsibilities, at that time, will make a real difference during his enlistment.

I joined the Marine Corps when I was 27 (turned 28 in recruit training) and it has been the best decision Ive ever made. I re enlisted last summer and now going to do recruiting back home in New York. People thought I was crazy that I chose infantry as an MOS but I wanted to challenge myself and experience being a grunt. The younger recruits may make jokes about your age but they will respect you for your knowledge, life experiences and wisdom. I also could out PT 90% my platoon and beat up on other recruits when ever we body sparred or used pugil sticks so that certainly earned me their respect. My best advice that I can give you is to be humble, show respect to Marines who out rank you, seek knowledge to your "senior" Marines, stay in shape, and do as many courses as possible which will help you advance in this gun club or help set you up in the civilian world.
