Positivity: 61 Year-Old Joins the Army
From the Bear Creek Ledger (HT S.O.B. Alliance member MilTracker):
Steven Silver, a psychologist at the Coatesville veterans hospital who served as a Marine Corps flight officer in Vietnam 36 years ago, is expecting final word that he has been accepted as a recruit in the Pennsylvania National Guard.
He is already a year past the age at which even most top generals usually must retire. But state Guard leaders, citing a “critical wartime shortage†of doctoral psychologists with Silver’s expertise in combat stress, have urged the Pentagon to waive the age requirement in his case.
