NavyET

I'm seeking advice and info from any Special Operations veterans out there. I'm an ex-Navy ET and I'm 36 years old. I'm in great shape and have done the research on guard special forces PT requirements. Currently I can meet these requirements but today heard some disturbing news. There is an SF unit in my hometown and the recruiter told me that no one over the age of 32 that he has sent to the SFAS and then to SFQC has ever passed. A buddy of mine told me that the body at my age just can't handle the day to day physical punishment for 24 days. I know for a fact that there are many older special forces troops out there. Can any of you older vets give little advice? I desperately want to serve my country again but I want to do it with the best out there. I hate being told I can't achieve something, It just makes me work out that much harder! Please help.
