Just a thought:
I've been out of the Marines for 10 years this December, but even though I am still working the GWOT from another angle, I miss the camaraderie, intensity, discipline, and plain ol' job satisfaction of the military. I currently work with tons of former guys from "color" teams and I seriously have the itch to go back into the mix.
At 36, am I too old to go for the X-Ray program? I don't mean from the Army policy standpoint, but from a "my old ass will be broken" standpoint. I have a TS/SCI, speak Arabic and Spanish, have operated overseas, etc. etc. etc. The former and current SOF guys I know say that I'd be a good fit from the experience/mentality standpoint. Fitness wouldn't be too hard to get back into fighting shape.
I guess I just don't want to thrust myself back into the breach if it's a non-starter (I'm not 24 anymore!). Thanks for your input...
Semper Fi,
Chris
