Max Age?

[USMC Bound]

Wondering if anyone knows the Max age to start the commisioning proccess for USMC avaitor.

You need to be commissioned by your 27 1/2 birthday. Age waivers are possible, but very difficult to get ( you need to be a super stud, and lucky). Not one age waiver has been approved out of my OSO's office in three years for an Air contract.

I went to OCS at age 29 on an air contract. Age waiver was very diffilcult to get.

What about prior enlisted?

Bump....

I have been searching around and found this thread left alone without an answer. Iam a prior about to graduate college. I was going to put in an app for 198 but I am very seriously thinking about continuing with my job as a stockbroker for a year. I turn 26 this dec and would be 27 by Jan 09, so perhaps I wont get accepted till the June class and will be slightly over the age. Should I be concerned?

Thanks in advance.

You can always go back to being a stockbroker. However, do you really want to risk losing your shot because you delayed for a year? Read the threads here and you'll see plenty of stories (injuries, not accepted on first application...etc.). Rather than be concerned, if you really want it, you should decide to go for it and give yourself a time cushion in case something causes a delay.

I would not chance it. The process takes awhile to get into OCC, and if you are not fully in shape or their are other issues, it can set you back some time. Start the process now. Just do it, it's well worth it.
