Question about age waiver for nuke

FutureND · 12-06-2012, 11:54 AM

When I started the enlistment process I was 27 (28 now) and scored a 98 on the AFQT. I spoke to my recruiter about going nuke and asked about the possibility of an age waiver. He spoke to the chief and was told it was a no go as age waivers are very hard to get approved, even for nuke. I would suggest that you try to get your recruiter to submit an age waiver but know that it is very likely that it will get denied, but it's worth a shot. Have a few back up ratings ready.

Yikes, sounds like my chance of getting Nuke is next to none. I am 27 now, scored 270 on NUC line score. I have to get age waver, citizenship waver - wasn't US born, L.O.R's from employer. Good thing I locked in on AECF for May.

I do have a few other ratings I am interested in.

Thanks again, this site is great!
