I'm making a character for an upcoming campaign, one where I'm just a player and not the GM. The game is set in the current day and character is a former Special Forces operator whose military service was from 1997-2011. [/SIZE]

Being born between 1946 to 1955 he can't serve in the military from 1997-2011, maximum age to enlist into the Army is 35 years old.

The maximum age of non-prior service enlistment under Federal Law was 35-years-old. In 2006, the Army asked Congress to raise the age limit to 44-years-old. Congress did not approve this change, but raised the maximum enlistment age from 35 to 42.
Regardless of Federal Law, the military services are allowed to impose more strict standards, and many of them have. The maximum age for non-prior service enlistments for each service is:
Active Duty Army - 42
Army Reserves - 42
Army National Guard - 42
Active Duty Air Force - 39
Air Force Reserve - 35
Air National Guard - 40
Active Duty Navy - 34
Navy Reserves - 39
Active Duty Marines - 28
Marine Corps Reserves - 29
Active Duty Coast Guard - 27
Coast Guard Reserves - 39
