Law Woman sues the Military for being too old to join the Military

[Rhood]

Reynolds, who is representing herself in her Brooklyn Federal Court age-discrimination case against the US Navy, claimed she was “sworn into” the Navy in Brooklyn in 2018 but “was never assigned anywhere or deployed.”
Reynolds filled out “enlistment paperwork” in 2019, according to the Navy, which had “no record of service” for her.

She then moved to Utah where she worked as a lawyer and revisited her enlistment in 2020. But she was was arrested in July 2020 for allegedly driving under the influence, a misdemeanor which was dismissed in 2023, court records show.
She returned to Long Island and again chased her dreams of joining the SEALs, but found recruiters were quick to urge her to use her legal skills in the military’s Judge Advocate General.
She claims recruiters told her that “age waivers were always obtainable.”
“I was really gearing up to participate in the pipeline process, really taking all the right steps to proceed with the application,” she said. But the app “was not submitted” by recruiters and “unjustifiably delayed,” she claimed.

The US Navy officials failed to advance Amanda S. Reynolds’ application, then told her in the fall that she would no longer qualify for Naval Officer Training Command in Newport, RI, because she’d be over the age limit of 42 by the time she graduated, according to court papers.

Amanda Reynolds of Woodbury said she would like her chance to join the US Navy SEALs.

She's delusional if she believes the Navy will seek Seals at that age.
By the time she finishes Basic Training, Tech School, and Officer Training, she'll be 46 years old. There's a reason why Military Recruiters poach teenagers from high school when they're 17 years old.

Yea way too old for spec ops

Grunt infantry you could argue since average age in ukraine conflict is around 43 but still standards are standards

I think at some point, we all need to realize that the military isn't just a chance at a feel good story for certain individuals.

Age waivers do exist and they’re usually adjudicated based on the position that person is trying to get in the military. As a lawyer she definitely could join with an age waiver and it almost certainly would get approved, provided she doesn’t have a history of malpractice or something.

Her trying to join as a Seal is the obviously not getting approved. I don’t know what that training pipeline even entails.

She's a problem waiting to happen.

Some people just don't get it.

"recruiters were quick to urge her to use her legal skills in the military’s Judge Advocate General."

Girl you're a lawyer, you want to join the Navy? Do lawyer stuff for the Navy.




One of my coworkers had this crazy friend years ago in LA who was an aspiring actress.

Attractive but a hot mess mentally. Had an agent, auditioned all the time, never got a big break.

So she's in her early 40s and her agent calls her super excited, he was working with a showrunner on a network legal drama.

She'd have a juicy part in one episode as a tough but hot middle aged lawyer, and if the producers liked her they would write her in for a season long arc as a love interest for a middle aged male main character.

She is offended beyond belief. How could they judge her like this? She thinks at 42 she should only be playing 28-34 year old main characters and this no audition part that's a straight up job offer for a supporting character role bigger than anything she's ever been in is an insult to her.

I think the agent dumped her as a client after she turned it down.

This seems....fucking stupid. A Seal?

 

[IDGETKTFO]

good thing she isn't black or trans.

We have enabled women to have an inflated sense of value. Instagram. Filters. Likes. Subscribes. Gurlpower. Bossbabe. Monkeybranching rosters. Black widows. Frozen eggs. Singlemom life.

Reminds me of colonel Kurtz that finished his spec ops training at 37.

This is the truth.

Disagree.

I think here in America we are actively trying to devalue men, their roles, and their place in society.

Strong men will always have a place in society. Weak men will always complain.

Stop complaining about weak men.

Stop complaining about weak men.

I'm sorry that hurt your feelings. Sending you (((good vibes))).

 

[Renard]

Seems that the complaint is that the recruiters failed to send her application, which is fair. Like even if you know she's going to be refused, you have to send it, you can't just decide on your own. Even moreso when you know you're dealing with a lawyer. Of course she's suing, it's what angry lawyers do.
