Actually, age 42 is true, but there's a caveat: if you have prior active service, then every year of active increasses the maximum age range by a year. Essentially, they will let you in so long as you can reasonable obtain enough years to be eligible for retirement as a reservist. Since retirement age is 62, then someone with no prior experience would have to be no older than 42 to be able to get 20 qualifying years of service. if someone were to have had, say 12 years of prior active service, then, you could feasibly enter the reserves at the age of 54. The other caveat to that is if you are over 47, and have the applicable experience to be eligible for retirement, you'll still need a waiver; but those aren't hard to get -- where there's a will, there's a waiver.

negative, for OCS programs (IDC specifically) the age (42) is it no waivers are authorized, DCO is a different animal
