I quick question to anybody who can help me out. I am 26 yrs old right now and will be 27 on Dec 8th. I have applied for SNA, NFO and Supply and would really like to get an SNA slot. I know you must commission by your 27th b-day if you want to be a pilot with no prior service. Is there any leeway to this (I know about non-existant age waivers)? I missed July's board due to slow ASTB results and now must catch the August board. I've heard of people being selected and then starting OCS within a week or two of finding out they were pro-rec'd. I would need an early Sept. OCS date to commission by 27 but does the Navy allow some slack for this? Can you start OCS and then commission a few weeks after your 27th b-day and still fly or do they take b-day into account and just not bother to give you the SNA slot? Anybody that could shed some light on the subject? I know its nearly impossible to get an age waiver so I was trying to see what kind of time I have to still make SNA via board selection only if at all. Thanks again.
