Starting 20 APR, 2026; the U.S Army will instate the following changes for recruitment/enlistment.
• Maximum age cap being raised from 34 to 42 years of age for all NON-PRIOR & PRIOR service personnel.
• Revised medical, and physical standards.
• Eliminating the need of a waiver (aka ‘looking the other way) for any and all single-convictions for possession of marijuana or drug paraphernalia for recruit/enlistees.

Several other changes go into effect, and are related to rewording/revisioning of the UCMJ (Uniformed Code of Military Justice) along with various grooming standards, and a rewording of things for mental health, and mental health-related services.

The U.S Selective Services, something that males HAVE to sign up for in the U.S at the age of 18 (they have from their 18th birthday to 6 months from that date to sign up), is used for a draft lottery system; the Draft Lottery has an age cap of 25 years of age, and will be raised to 32 years of age for the draft lottery.
