I actually did read several posts and found many comments valuable; but I have a difference of opinion as one cannot generalize 100% of the time. My personal opinion differs from some, as I have scored higher on the PFT than 90% of recruits 18-26. I fully understand the rationale, but if one is fit enough and can demonstrate that ability then I feel pursuing an age waiver is not selfish at all. I proved my fitness both physically and mentally, and therefore felt that my request for an age waiver for the Marine Corps was not selfish. I have several senior NCO's, 2 Colonels, 1 General and 800 signatures that agree with my assessment of that request.
