Does anyone know if they are currently granting age waivers for non-prior service, or has anyone seen any applicants get selected who are over the age range?

Worth a shot maybe @exNavyOffRec would know more. If you’re AD I think it comes down to your PFT and health, TIJ…

As a civilian I’m not sure though. Ask a recruiter call them up

How old are we talking? I’ve seen a few get selected at the age of 32 and I actually saw someone 36 get selected which shocked me but not sure if he was AD or Civ

Seen 37 but was a prior AD ha! Rescue swimmer so probably in really good shape!

I'm 32 as we speak with no prior service. My package is already done, so it's just a matter of submitting everything to Millington.

Great point about contacting a recruiter. The ONLY thing I worry about is them being "typical recruiters" and turning me away rather than actually helping me due to my age versus some 22 year old who's up and coming. That kind of stuff happens all too often :/

I wouldn’t mention your age and if it does come up then say you’re a stallion for 32 and can max out the PFT and have no health problems

They will need to submit the waiver to get the OK for you to go to board.

If a person meets the PA they have to assist you, the age waiver criteria is "exceptional record and proven skill set" and you can't need any other waivers. The select people in limited quantities with waivers so that means you may have a harder time than others.

They might notice the age thing on the birth certificate or on the application itself lol.

Well that’s it folks, we’re locked in now. To repeat what a wise man once said in another thread, “only a month until we know in a month!”

What is the date of this board now?

Official schedule says Aug 21, but people on here are saying they’ll convene Aug 23. The exact day doesn’t really matter for us though.
