Question about age waiver for nuke

[prop827]

It depends on your age, but in general age waivers are some of the easiest to get in the Nuke world. There are actually quite a lot of nukes with age waivers, and there's never harm in trying anyways, right? If you want it, go for it!

I have been told by most people (at MEPS and in the recruiting office) that the age waiver for nuke is one of the harder to get and that even a 26 yr is hard to get one for. Yes I am going to try...if I dont get it then it's fine b/c I am still joining the Navy :D

I think I am going to try for it anyways, just like you said, no harm in giving it a shot. I have been fascinated by it since my recruiter mentioned it during our first meeting. Doing tons of research and reading all I can, pros and cons.

I am enlisting a bit later than most people, but I have decided that I am lacking a challenge in life and I feel that Nuclear Power School would be one heck of a challenge.

I'm currently waiting for my medical waiver to come back - this past Monday I went in to see a civilian doctor for a private consult for my shoulder, he passed me with flying colors, so now I'm just waiting to hear the official word back from MEPS. Hopefully I get a response before everything shuts down for the holidays.

Dont count on getting a response back from MEPS this quick! It took about 2 weeks for my son!

oh I understand, believe me! My recruiter has been pretty good about getting a prompt response so far, so I am being optimistic!

not counting on anything.

Once the paperwork was actually submitted, it took about 3 weeks to be approved.
