Oldest age for UPT
 

There appears to be a wealth of knowledge on this forum regarding military flying. That being said I was just wondering what the oldest age anyone has heard of for someone to attend UPT while going the guard route. Thanks in advance for any responses.

I think somebody was posting on here about getting on at age 40? Do a search, it was somewhat recent.

A Dover dude, FDNY I think. About 37, but remarkably no prior service. The C-5 program has always been an outlier.

Just flew with a guy who said his unit sent a 41 year old prior service guy. Don’t know many other details.

Currently max age is 33 without requiring a waiver. But don't sweat it if you're older. There's a waiver for everything! Good luck.

Air Force- start UPT by 30th birthday (waivers up to 35)

Air Guard- 30 or whatever they can get a waiver for....

Army- must not have passed their 33rd birthday at the time of enlistment

Navy- not have passed their 32nd birthday upon commissioning

Coast Guard- not have passed their 35th birthday

Hope that helps a little.

All subject to change next week. Moving target.

The Air Force is now 33 before a waiver is needed, not 30.

That's a lot better than back in 1979. I think it was 26 or 27 for the Air Force back then. We had a former Army Warrant Officer in my ROTC unit. The guy had logged 500 hours Combat time in a Cobra in Vietnam and been shot down twice. He was 6 months over the age limit and the Air Force wouldn't waive it. :confused: Wound up being a missile officer.

Thanks to everyone for the replies this certainly helps.
