I know dozens of them, my peers are of similar age as are at least 5 of my OCS classmates. I am not rebuilding engines in the guard, I am a 31A. And I am frankly not sure what any of this has to do with the questions I'm asking. I don't think you really have any hands on experience with the California national guard which happens to be the largest guard in the USA with over 22k soldiers. Lots of diversity and when I make major in a few months I will be pretty much on par with everyone else.
The guard is not full of people who joined at 18. In fact they raised the age to 42 recently.
