I had a 28 and 26 year old in my boot camp platoon at MCRD.
You'll be around the same age as your junior drill instructors and they'll mess with you about your age but you just have to keep the mindset it isn't personal. You can definitely do it though.
I would be more worried about making friends once you get to your unit. You'll be mid twenties and the Marines your age will be Sgt and SSgt's but you won't be able to be buddies with them because of fratnerzation. You'll have to hang out with the 18-20 year olds. You won't be the only "older" guy there though. You'll also have to take orders from a 20 year old Cpl etc. You'll be fine, lots of guys have done it before you.
