Age Limits for Medical Corp Officers

[docpup]

I've been looking for some information on age limits for prior service members seeking acceptance to USUHS and a commission. I will be completing my BS in a couple of months and then intend on completing the requirements for acceptance. I retire from active duty August 2010 and will be 38. All of the requirements will be completed prior to retirement and I intend on submitting my package to the school post retirement as a "civilian" who happened to be in the military for 20 years.

Looking on the site has not been completely helpful, so anyone with helpful information would be appreciated. I have sent the same question to the admissions staff and am awaiting an answer from them as well.

Thank you in advance for any assistance, advice, or insight.

It was like 27 at one time; I'm pretty sure 38 is way to old. Maybe MSC?

Google is, as always, your friend - from the 2nd hit in the search "USUHS age limits":

Applicants (civilian and enlisted personnel) must be between the ages of 18 and 30 by 30 June 2009. However, an applicant who has commissioned active duty time in the Armed Services may exceed the age limitation by a period equal to the time served on active duty provided the applicant has not become 36 years of age by 30 June 2009. If a civilian or military member exceeds the age limit, an age waiver may be requested.

You're likely to get that info on www.studentdoctor.net. They have a forum on military medicine and the various intricacies of HPSP and USUHS.

Thanks for the help. I tried the google thing and the website. My computer literacy is pretty small...the only thing I can find consistently is porn...

Looks like I am going to be to old for USUHS. I'll try another way.

Thanks again for all of your help...Pup!
