I agree with compulsive...I've been in the military for 10 yrs., I'm an E-6 (for 2), and I'm 30. I enlisted @ the ripe ol' age of 20.
Realistically speaking, MOST military personnel retire within 20-25 years of service (notice I said MOST)! So, let's say troup "A" enlisted @ 18, and stayed for 25 years, that would make him 43yrs. old! That my friends is desk jockey age in the military!
You also have to remember, the special forces i.e. SEALS, Combat Control, Airborne, etc. mostly hand pick candidates straight out of basic trng. Sure, you can volunteer to try out, and some make it in that way. But, my point is, you could be going through survival school as early as 20-21, and actually be special ops by 23!
That being said, by 25yrs old, you're pretty dang mature, trust me!!!!!!!! My parents didn't even recognize me when I came home for the first time (I was 23 and had been gone for 3 years)! That's no lie!
