A guy I used to work for was a Major in the Mississippi State Guard, according to him, the minimum age for enlistment was 42, and that most of the members in the local company were about ready for retirement (62+). A combat outfit this will not be! Kinda reminds one of the WWII German Army and its "stomach" and "hearing" battalions.
