Good afternoon.

First a little background:

I am currently an active duty enlisted that will have 3 years in my belt this november.

I joined very late (33 years old) and will be turning 37 this December.

I have around 27 college credits.

Question:

I want to study aeronautics or its relevant engineering degree. Will it be possible to graduate and submit a package before I turn 40? I know I might only be able to turn in one package but even that is ok for me.

I also have an interest in nursing. Will it be better for me to focus on the nursing route instead because of the higher age limit?

Thank you for all your help

Hi everyone,

I’m 36 years old and currently working toward my bachelor’s degree. My goal is to commission as an Air Force officer after I graduate.

I know I’ll be older than many applicants by the time I finish school, so I’m wondering how realistic my chances are.

Has anyone here been selected for OTS in their mid-to-late 30s? What was your experience like?

Are there age-related challenges I should be aware of, and what can I do now to make myself a stronger candidate?

I’d appreciate any advice. Thanks!
