I can relate to your situation as I am 48 and currently retired from the military. There are many areas on my resume that may soon have to fall off because of the 10 year work experience cut off. The best way to work around this is when in an interview is to draw back on those positive work experiences and communicate those to your interviewer. I think in some cases if they can see your excitement or passion from previous work experiences it can show them your relevance for what you may be currently trying to obtain.
