SWO Board 09 NOV 20

If you’re not 33 or older, you meet the age requirements and no waiver is needed. A waiver can be granted for up to 35 for prior service (however that’s not guaranteed).

All applicants must be at least 19 and not have past their 32nd birthday at the time of commissioning. If you are applying and you will turn 32 at anytime during the application process, before/during OCS you will need a waiver. If you are 35 and older your waiver will fwd to BUPERS-3.
Example: I am active duty, I was 34 when I applied, I am 35 now, my waiver went to BUPERS 3 and was approved.

I got into a little "mini debate" with my recruiter about this today. I'm currently 28 i'll be 29 in October. I may be submitting for this board depending on the results of the current aviation board. My recruiter gonna tell me i may need an age waiver because i'll be 29 when i go to OCS. I told him i'm prior service so the age cap is 32. He still saying i may need a waiver lol. he's an ok recruiter and I like him but I know what the hell im talking about. I don't need no damn age waiver for SWO when i'm 29 with prior service lol.

It is still considered a "waiver", they need to verify you have the proper amount of prior service, for prior service is it essentially just plug in the numbers and you are good.

Freshy, you are correct. I'm 30 with 12 years prior service and did not need any waivers to apply for SWO.

Yes, you need age waiver. I'm 36 and still waiting for approval since March. My waiver goes to OPNAV.

Everyone is telling this man bad information. He is 29. Not 32. There is no age waiver for SWO if they will commission prior to 32. It is outlined in the PA. https://www.public.navy.mil/bupers-...rs/Documents/PA-100_SWO_Training_Jun-2019.pdf

Nevermind I read the PA. It's fine, just misunderstanding. At least you don't have to wait over six months for a waiver.

My package has been submitted to this SWO board. I am currently working ( 3 classes in) on my Master in Nuclear Engineering and completed my bachelors in Nuclear Engineering Techonology. Since I submitted both transcripts, what GPA will they look ( the masters degree I am currently working on or my completed degree?

Where did you get that we gave "bad" information. Everyone here is trying to help in the best capacity that we can, nobody responds to steer any potential candidate in the wrong direction intentionally.

So, I realize I should not have said everyone. But the information from a couple of users telling the 29 yo applicant that he needed a waiver was false. So I linked the PA to show why it was false. Your comment was absolutely correct though.
