I have a friend who is currently in the Naval Reserves after 9 yrs. active duty who is interested in an NFO slot. The problem is that he just turned 32. Does anybody know how easy it is to get an age waiver?

Your friend can continue being interested...

He's gotta be up to age 32 at the time of commissioning (completion of OCS)--that's a waiver for prior enlisted service.

Regular is 30 years for NFO (1375); so, he's not going to get it unless he "acquires" another birth certificate

That was from OPNAV 1420.1


And, I'll see you in OCS[:D]
 
aviatormo, tell your friend that he can request an age waiver up to 33 yrs old now, i found out by calling the guy "Ed" who works at TN and does all the screening for the boards. the opnav is outdated...now im not sure if that only applies to active duty or if they will allow reservists the waiver... im active duty and will be just shy of 32 when i get commissioned in Feb...that was one of my concerns though...just a thought. NFO
 
If he's got 9 years active duty he can use 4 of those year towards a waiver. For example, pilot is 27 waiverable to 31. If NFO is 30 then he has 'til he's 34. The age waiver is automatic as long as you include an official copy of your DD214 showing your active dury time.

Don't sweat the small stuff!

Read my reply above...

OPNAV 1420.1 is a new 2001 instruction.

You have to be under 32 at the time of commissioning with NFO student designator--that's pretty simple to understand.

Even though you get up to 4 years for your prior service waived, it's your age on the graqduation day that counts. It's the law.

Like you say, Don't sweat it!

How's Germany, man?

Prost! goes out to you, because local beer is kinda crappy[:D]
I did buy a mini keg of Warsteiner to ring in Oktoberfest here in Italy--don't have time to drive up to your neck of woods...

I'm classing up on 13OCT02[8D], and I'm leaving Italy next week--it's check out time

Good luck in OCS!
 
For pilot applicants, OPNAV 1420.1 does not specify a month-to-month age waiver for prior service individuals. It implies that any prior service member can receive an age waiver to age 31 - is that correct or is it more specific elsewhere.
Thanks
