There’s hope for me yet, as far as enlisting in the military. The maximum enlistment age is now 42, and I’m still 38. That gives me about three and a half years to get The Daughter out of high school and into college, my health problems under control, get in shape, and enlist. If The Man will agree to it, that is, which seems unlikely but you never know.
Why would someone my age, who is going to be an empty-nester before long and who is madly in love with her husband, even consider joining the military? That’s easy – I really do believe all the things I’ve written about the war. I’m very encouraged by the article; people like me do join, and can help. While I’m proud to be part of the 101st Fighting Keyboardists (Chairborne Division 
) I would dearly love to contribute more to this war effort. This is really something to think about.
