I was picked up by an AFRC unit while I was still under 30, had a sickness in the family that diverted my time away from completing the paperwork in time...I was already close to the age cut-off so the AFRC HQ would not let me board. Nothing my hiring unit could do.

There were some issues with the local officer accessions recruiter, but I do blame myself with not being more persistent with the parts in the process I had more control over.

I have been trying to get an ANG slot since then with no luck. I understand that it's near impossible...just wanted to see if I had any other options with ANG.

Could I have started younger, yes...no excuses for waiting so close to the age cut-off...that's entirely on me.

Thanks for the info.
