I am curious what the max age that someone has joined the reserves with no prior service. I have heard 40. Also I am fighting a kidney stone issue with MEPS. Anybody been accepted after having a kidney stone? Thanks.

I've gotten 37, this is an issue along with the kidney stone that you need to be in contact with your recruiter about though. CPO Kalbach

CPO Kalbach:

Thanks. I spoke with you a while back on this same issue. I have a dr appt coming up so we'll see what they say. I see the new website says 39?

I saw that 39 age limit too. I was confused because it didn't specify whether or not that was prior service.
Elsewhere on the site it listed prior service limit as 40.
I got a reply from my local recruiter that I am too old. I am 38 now, turning 39 in July.

I am 38 and 39 in May. I would call another recruiter and see what they say. I think they cango 40 or older but somebody has to willing to push it.

Sorry that's "can go" and "be" willing. :-)
