59 YO Enlists

[Gregory Matthews]

Craig Morgan, a 59-year-old Country Music star enlisted in the U.S. Army, in 2023!  As one who competes in Ironman Triathlons-, he passed the required physical testing.  He had previously spent 17 years in the Army.  His 3-year enlistment will allow him to complete the required 20 years for retirement.  NOTE:  My information has largely come from a article by Hope Seck, in the August, 2024 edition of Military Officer.  Additional information may be found from the link below.  Due to failure to meet enlistment goals, the U.S. military is accepting enlistments from older service people who previously would not have been eligible to return to military service.
