Age limit for US Army <=35. It's not easy though. I've got few friends in all branch of services. One of our nepali fella' joined the US Army and within his boot camp training he lost 20 lbs. He is in IT field and he says now he started lovn' his job. He has never been in direct combat but constantly travles different part of the world. Some people like it and some not. Some of the advantages that I see in the military are free health & life insurence, college money, professional trainings, physical readiness and equal rights (unlike Gurkha soliders). There are some disadvanteges too like, isolation, family separation, health and life risks. I heard there are few Nepalese sisters in the US military. Matter of fact, I met one gal and she was saying she is going to renlist after 4 years of her job in the service.
