Supposedly it's illegal to discriminate on age but in reality all branches of the military do it etc. They might only get away w/ it b/c govt. My thoughts are you pass the physical then you passed the physical. Not the way the world works sadly. Instead we waste a ton of potential making sure all the 5'4" Sheila's get a shot.

You know, for a fire fighter, a soldier, I get the point. A 22 yo guy will pass the physical test and serve for decades. A 40 yo, even passing the test now, will be 50 in 10 years. And there's a difference. I guess they don't want a department full of old folks who won't be able to do their job efficiently. It sucks, but I see the point.
