Making Recruiting Great Again
I just found out that an age waiver has been submitted with my application because realistically I will be 29 (Aug 11) well before commissioning from OCS assuming I am selected. From what I have been reading is that competing as a civilian for OCS, these waivers drastically reduce any chances of consideration.

Question: how detrimental is this waiver for my application?

Don’t be surprised if your application doesn’t make it to board. Age waivers aren’t being entertained unless you’re prior enlisted service.

Two questions for the ORs here:

1. I am also a future sailor in DEP. I am scheduled to ship May 21st but we might not get results before then. What happens if I don’t ship before the results are out?
2. I’m a dual citizen (Poland-U.S.). Will that impact my selection chances?
