could you do it at 51??
 

My hat's off in salute to this lady!! getting it done at 51 years old!!

Good for her, got to love those prior service age waivers.

Most military training has two hurdles to pass- physical and mental. The Sgt spent a year getting in shape for the physical- think she pretty much had a lock on the mental.

We used to get a few retreads- usually prior service Navy or Air Force- coming through Basic Training. Their maturity was usually a significant benefit to them.

My compliments to the Sgt. She done good.
