I'm 39, turn 40 in about 3 months. Would love to enlist into the Navy active duty now that the age limit has increased. I know I have to ship out before my birthday as part of my age qualification. Do I have time?
I've thought about seriously enlisting in the past, but I wanted Active Duty not the Navy Reserve.
If you're qualified without needing waivers and you're willing to ship with any available job you probably have a shot. If you have enlistment issues and are picky about a job you don't have a shot.
Go talk to a recruiter and get started tomorrow if you want to do this.

I’ll list my preferences but yeah I’ll do anything I need to do. Left a msg for recruitment, I’m gonna head over there and see if I can catch someone. I don’t believe I need any waivers, no medical hx, no criminal hx, no weird tats, no collections/bankruptcy, wife and 2 kids which I believe is the dependent limit w/o waiver.
I was raised by an old Sailor this would be a dream come true.

Don't waste another day on forums, go to the recruiter...
Your biggest problem is going to be your health, at age 39. Good luck. Go talk to the recruiter today!
PS I think the Air Force also has the limit set to 39.
