Wow, so I am smart enough but too old. I would not have the knowledge or experience I have if I were younger so it's is a catch 22. Thanks for the response though.
Its a weird logic. Sort of similar to the way they downsize the enlisted ranks... they get rid of the older/higher ranked/more experienced ones but still add new young people. Then again, the board don't always select the "best," sometimes it just gets down to emotions and diversity goals. My 2 cents.

It's all good. Disappointing but good. I wish they would just lower the age limit so individuals like myself don't get a false sense of hope.

Keep your heads up for those that are interested in reapplying - took me three times before I got in. Also, consider what is more important, being a naval officer or being in the IDC. Other designators have a much high acceptance rate (from most recent boards: Pilot 64%, NFO 61%, SWO 97%, CEC 36%).

Breakdown of total #'s from IDC OCS Sept board: 38 Pr0Y of 400 considered = 9.5% acceptance rate

I would have gone to any field, except I have aged out of all but IDC...and I'm only 35!
