In my opinion, it reeks of ageism.
In my search for the right job, I came across a broadcast journalism position near my home in San Francisco for the U.S. Air Force. It was then lighting struck; I knew exactly where I'd first be applying.
The Air Force pay was less than I was used to, but that wasn't the issue. I wanted to be an officer, and after 25 years of working and building a successful life, I knew I could offer much to my country.I contacted the Air Force recruiter and applied on the phone, explaining I was interested in the officer's program—and specifically any journalism opportunities. The first recruiter was a little confused by my age, but told me not to be discouraged.
The Air Force told me another recruiter—a higher up—would soon be in touch. Indeed, they called a few days later and continued to interview me. But even this recruiter wasn't sure if I could qualify because of my age. I believe a special task force in the military should be created for just my kind of application, where skilled middle-aged people of any vocational background can regularly still enter the military and honorably serve their countries.
