Age Waivers?
Which branch is currently offering age waivers for individuals over the age of 35?
Are the waivers handled on a case by case basis? If so, what’s the criteria under consideration?
I currently hold a single engine land instrument rating and would like to establish a career as a pilot in the military.
Thanks.

The military has no shortage of pilot applicants at all, they have a shortage of people willing to stay in when the airlines are hiring. That cannot be solved by hiring more entry-level pilots, military aviation is a hierarchical endeavor, they need varied levels of experience throughout the organization.
A senior pilot can substitute for a junior pilot, but a 1st Lt cannot do a Colonel's job.
