The change arrives around a month after the Air Force <a href=\"https:\/\/www.airforcetimes.com\/news\/your-air-force\/2023\/09\/14\/entire-air-force-to-miss-recruiting-goal-the-first-failure-since-1999\/\" target=\"_blank\">missed<\/a> its recruiting target for the first time since 1999.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis opens the aperture to allow more Americans the opportunity to serve,\u201d Leslie Brown, the chief of public affairs for the Air Force recruiting service, wrote in an email to Air Force Times. \u201cThe accession age of 42 allows an Airman or Guardian to serve a full 20 years since the retirement age is 62.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Air Force fell roughly 2,700 airmen short of its recruitment goal this year. Its space-focused sister service fared better, surpassing its 472 enlisted recruit benchmark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Service recruiters continue to fight a confluence of headwinds on the way to reaching recruiting targets, including a strong job market and waning youth interest in military service. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Air Force officials anticipate that the new age ceiling will attract around 50 more recruits per year. In recent months, they also softened once strict rules surrounding tattoos and past drug use to lower barriers to entry without, they hope, compromising the quality of recruits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Air Force last revised its age cutoff for service in 2014, raising the bar from 27 to 39. Hundreds of recruits in their late thirties have joined the ranks since.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The change arrives around a month after the Air Force missed its
