The traditional rule is one month of age waiver for every month of active duty, so a full four years buys you up to 31. Remember that this is a Waiver "request", they don't have to give it to you, but generaly they do. They'll want to see your DD214 (if pior) and check out the months column for your service. If age is a factor you might want to consider the Marines, they tend to overlook age for VERY qualified people.

You can view the adobe document here as it is listed on page 7-2 of OPNAVINST 1420.1 : http://neds.nebt.daps.mil/Directives/1420/seven.pdf
These ages are the maximum you can be upon completion of OCS (when you get commissioned). I had one guy in my OCS class that got commissioned 1 week before he turned 32. If he had been rolled in OCS by even one week, he would have lost his NFO billet due to his age. And, yes, they are *that* strict about it. One day over...you don't qualify.
