Most of the people Ive talked to aren't aware of this. Thanks for the info. At 26 I think I've still got time to git-er done.

It seems like everyone I talk to has a different answer about the cut off age. A lot tell me 30, but I've also been told that it has been changed to where you have to be out of OTS by age 27 1/2. Am I confusing this with AD and RESERVE limitations? Is there a difference in age cut offs between ANG, AD, and reserves? Or am I making this way more complicated than it truly is? (probably the later)

If I were you I would look into the 920th reserve squadron in FL. https://www.920rqw.afrc.af.mil/ This way your in the airforce flying helos. You stated that being home close to family is important. This could be what your looking for. I believe their primary mission is combat rescue (saving lives) but I'm pretty sure they perfrom missions just like the coast guard does while based in FL. Plus you mid air refuel with C-130s. Does the CG do that?!

I've had trouble finding a source that provides OTS/UPT selection board dates, can anyone help me out. I'm concerned b/c I turned 26 in Nov and am just starting the application process, and want to know if I have enough time to pull this off.
