@FormerRecruitingGuru It was my DCO recruiter that told me about this. He said that he's having a hard time submitting my package because of this. I just turned 42 and I have an age waiver.

The confusion may have been applicants who have aged out… who aren’t eligible for an age waiver.
I have an age waiver. My OR said that the NRC processors is making reference to this number 5 (on page 2) of this attached document which reads "Waiver: Not applicable". Could you please take a look at the attached document?

I believe your recruiter is the only person that can provide clarification to this. Quick question: Was your waiver approved before submission to the boards? It's always good to have approvals before submission of your package. I had 2 waivers submitted and approved before application submission.

Not sure if this is or would be a problem, my recruiter didnt say my waiver would not be approved. This is my second submission, I too am 42 years of age. I have put alot into this second submission, with awards I earned from missions and required certs needed for the community etc. Dont worry about the age waiver requirement so much, your recruiter should know if it is a big deal or not. I know a guy that submitted to the board 5 times and he was older than us, hopefully it wont take me or you that long to get picked up. Stay positive..

I would talk to your recruiter and find out if the processors have been giving additional guidance, maybe they have?
@FormerRecruitingGuru I read it but I don't quite understand what this part means: "Prior qualifying service will be considered for year-for-year credit up to age 52." Could you please help me with an explanation?

Prior service is in reference to those who have 10 years of qualifying military service. Those 10 years are added to the age of 42; allowing those who have served submission at age 52.

I did not have an age waiver but had other waivers. I have seen, in other forums, posts of applicants submitting age waivers. I am considered to be prior service. However, this does not apply to me.
