Excellent scores. You’re well into age waiver territory; unless hiring has cooled down, you’ll either have to get exceptionally lucky, be a famous athlete or actor, or a social comedian to get a serious look right off the bat. I barely squeaked in at 32 and made a connection with a good unit with similar scores, but I consider myself very…

Colin replied to the discussion Age Limit in the forum General Discussion 3 months ago
Impossible to say what your odds are specifically with the information provided. Age is a poor determinant alone but typically, the closer to early to mid 20s, the better. I’d say unless you’re famous, have effusive charisma, or have close ties with a fighter unit, your odds of a fighter are close to zero. However, heavies are very much in…

Thank you, sir! I’ll chalk this up to my lack of understanding of how these documents iterate. The language appears unchanged.

I was previously trying to resolve whether my age (32) makes the guard a possibility anymore. Searched 36-2100 document on the Department of Air Force E-publishing to find more answers. This entire chapter (3) is “DELETED”. Published Apr 2021. Is your reference more recent?
Furthermore, as far as the guard goes, many units still have the…

Thanks for the reply! To clarify, my corrected vision is 20/20. The surgery is not risk free and my eyes are otherwise healthy. My eyes pass the AF uncorrected standards, so, aside from being unnecessary for the AF, it would set me back 6 months and another medical check which is dicey since I am already 32 and have active AF opportunities in…

Not to hijack your post, but I was told by some guard heavy members that they are thinking of doing away with T-6s for part time heavy units and going straight to T-1/sims since your airframe is immutable. I think many would be sad if that happened, but it does remove some of the “airsickness” risk, is what they mentioned. Wondering if anyone…

Is it true that the National Guard is willing to process vision waivers?
I was in the process for applying to the Army Reserve but, upon learning my vision (2.00 ish) would be out of regulation with the army’s 1.50 myopia requirement, I was told it was not waiverable and would need LASIK/PRK.
Flash forward 6 months, I’ve been talking with a…
