Hi all,
I'm leaving for OCS in a month as an SNA. I will turn 27 in July 2016. Do I need to be in API or Primary before my 27th birthday? Or is it just that I need to be commissioned before my 27th? I am concerned that my commission will occur in March 2016 and then I will not class up until much later, thus losing my AOC status.
I ask because the sources of information I've found have different results, as well as my recruiter not knowing after I noticed some of his info was bad:
https://www.navycs.com/officer/aviationofficer.html
http://usmilitary.about.com/od/joiningthemilitary/l/blpilotage.htm
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Naval_Aviator
NavyCS says "not have passed their 27th birthday on commissioning" which leads me to believe that I can report to API or Primary after July 2016, but thought I'd ask anyway in case someone had direct knowledge.
Thank you!
