Question about age waiver for nuke

prop827 · 07-31-2013, 10:26 AM

There are a lot of very old nukes (well, old for just joining the navy now as enlisted, myself included). I want to say the oldest in my NFAS class was 29 just starting A School, you'll be right at home.

A 29 year old? That's excellent news to hear; first I've heard of someone so old in nuke school.

An update to my posts above:

I was disapproved for a waiver to be NF based on my age.

My waiver application was re-submitted (apparently there is a new policy or something) and approved!

I will be 27 when I go to nuclear field A-school.

I'm a 27 year old college graduate who didn't have the grades to go officer either. I am in DEP for AECF but trying to get an age waiver for Nuke. This last post is giving me hope!

I'm 24, but I'll be 25 before boot camp. My age waiver was approved in less than a week...

I entered DEP Friday with the AECF Rate, ship date 20140513.

I'm currently 24 (25 in September) and because aging out is possible before a ship date, they're requiring an age waiver. I'm hopeful it will come back very, very soon!

Good luck to others in the same age waiver boat!
