A Legal Battle for Equality: Long Island Attorney Challenges Navy’s Age Discrimination

Amanda S. Reynolds, a 41-year-old attorney from Long Island, has taken her quest to become the first female Navy SEAL to federal court, alleging that Navy recruiters intentionally delayed her application process, causing her to miss the age cutoff for enlistment.

Describing herself as a “Viking-like” warrior, Reynolds has filed a lawsuit against the Navy for age discrimination, claiming that the bureaucratic red tape led to her exclusion from a dream that she had been diligently preparing for, as reported by The New York Post.

“I could have gone to officer candidate school in February,” Reynolds explained to The Post. “But they delayed my application without reason or cause and then informed me that I was too old.”

Reynolds asserts that she was consistently misled throughout the process, with recruiters telling her that age waivers were “always obtainable.” Despite her extensive preparation—years of physical training that included long-distance running, swimming, and scuba certification—her application was never submitted on time.

“The opportunity … was essentially taken away from me. I would like that to be reinstated,” she stated. “I just want the decision to be based on my qualifications rather than being sidelined by a technicality.”

According to Navyseals.com, applicants must be between 17 to 28 years old, with specific waivers available for men up to the age of 30 for highly qualified candidates, and prior enlisted SEALs may request waivers up to age 33.

Reynolds, who transitioned from over a decade in litigation law to military aspirations in 2018, claims that after being sworn into the Navy in Brooklyn, she was never assigned to a unit, deployed, or processed for active duty.

In contrast, the Navy disputes her timeline, asserting that there is “no record of service” for Reynolds and that her enlistment paperwork was only filed in 2019.

After a brief relocation to Utah, Reynolds revived her ambitions in 2020 but was sidelined by a DUI arrest, a misdemeanor that was dismissed in 2023. Undeterred, she entered the Navy SEAL Warrior Challenge Program in 2023, aspiring to break gender barriers within the elite unit.

Instead of advancing her candidacy, however, recruiters allegedly directed her towards the Judge Advocate General (JAG) Corps, citing her legal expertise.

“I ended up bringing a lawsuit in federal court in New York to pursue an age discrimination claim against the Navy, seeking to have my opportunity reinstated. That’s my current situation, and I hope that with judicial intervention, I can pursue this career path despite my age,” she said.
