2 years? Why even bother? That sure isn't Active duty. I'm 23 and have been in the military since I was 19. No it's not too old.

You must go in for at least 4 years, unless you plan on getting discharged.

Just finished 5 years. Basically never to old, as long as you can take orders from some 19 year old, this WILL happen. However your maturity level will help you (assuming you don't still act like some 18yr old highschool grad douche) with gaining rank, and working, and with some respect aspects.

I don't see a problem with joining when you'r in the 30s. You'r still active, and can still move and are probably even wiser.
So no, 23 is young.

I didn't join the Army till I was 29 and went in as an officer. It's never too late to serve.
In Basic training we had a a 35, 38 and a 42 year old. Lots of guys in their late 20's too.
