They give you a break if you are prior service anyway.....so, for me, the Wi NG has asked me about reenlisting at 38, since my "recruiting" age is 30 (38-, four the active time and four for my reserve time.

BTW: The Navy Reserve does the samething, I am still considering their comissioning boards in Sept., might move to the darkside.
