how old is too old to join the navy My husband is 29 and may be interested in joining the navy. Do you have an age limit?

To join the Navy on active duty, one needs to be younger than 34 years of age. To join the Navy as a reservist, one needs to be younger than 39. The Marine Corps has a slightly different age standard, despite being a part of the Navy. Your husband is too old to join the Marines as an active duty soldier, but is qualified to join the Marine reserves.
