The Air Force and Space Force will begin allowing people to enlist up until the age of 42, a move that comes as the services continue to combat the recruiting crisis.
The Air Force and Space Force are raising the maximum age applicants can enlist as the services continue to search for ways to alleviate ongoing recruiting struggles . Those interested in joining the Air Force or Space Force will have until they are 42-years-old to sign up, a three-year rise in the age limit that was previously set at 39, according to a report from Military .com.
The failure to meet recruiting goals extended to other branches as well, the report noted, with the Army and Navy also falling short of this year's goal. Only the Marine Corps was able to meet its recruiting goals this year, though the report notes that the branch 'squeaked by' and has also struggled to meet National Guard and officer goals.
