I just entered DEP with rating AECF, but submitted an age waiver application for NF. I will update the forum with the waiver (dis)approval, but here is some pertinent information regarding my "whole person":
-27 years old (will still be 27 on shipping date);
-bachelors degree in biology (poor GPA = not applying as an Officer Candidate);
-passed AP Calculus BC with an A in high school;
-only 2 minor speeding tickets 8 years ago, no other police history; and
-99th percentile on AFQT with 275 nuc subscore.
I was very encouraged by a Master Chief counselor about my waiver. I hope to share good news for future old men like myself.
