Found this article to be pretty awesome.. a 51 year old mother in the Army? That's epic.

Her son is in the Marines.

Wow! I recently met a guy who went through Basic at 44... I can't believe that she went through it at 51! Hoooooah!

That's awesome! I thought the age cut off was 41 or something?

Any time previously served can be added to your age.

She should be considered an inspiration. Especially for the young people thinking about joining. I mean, if a 51-year old mother can an 18 to 23-year old should be able to do it.
