Ive done this before but this time I'd like to add a limit on classes.

Please post the oldest guy you can remember attending UPT in the last 4 years.

Search function has not been helpful with this inquiry.

Thanks for the info. Cheers :beer:

At Corpus I had a Marine major in my class that had to be 33-35ish at least (he had several teenage children). He was a prior WSO who washed out at the end of T-45s and was subsequently sent to T-44s. Dude had like 300 UPT hours between T-34s, T-45s, and T-44s.

On the Air Force side, 28 for an ANG prior loadmaster.

I know in my old class at XL we had 2 guys who had turned 30 while in UPT. They were both prior E's.

Not in my class, but when I was back in UPT, there was a class about 4 months ahead of mine that had a female Major who was in her early 30's (this was back in 2004). Her story was simple, "$hit ton of waivers!" She had gotten picked up by an ANG unit, and was obviously prior service.

My class hasn't started yet, but I am 28 and currently the oldest in it.

Thanks guys keep em coming. I'm putting together some research to informally present my case. It's for a good cause. Thanks again

At XL last year, we had an ANG guy (non-prior) turn 30 about a week into Phase II.

I'll have to get you a name, but at least one of the 1967 NASA scientist/astronauts was 40 when he went to UPT. Graduated number one in his class.

I'll be 32 in Sept and just wanted a feel for how old the "old" guy actually is these days ( hence the timeframe for school dates).

Thanks again guys. Keep em coming.

Actually she was. She had a good head on her shoulders, and was the class SRO...who outranked the Flight Commander! Giggity...

And no, I can't provide pictures.

If you went through UPT at Columbus, I think I know who you speak of.

Had a dude at upt that had to be moved up because he was going to turn 30 prior to his class date. In my Eagle class, I had two guys turn 30 during the course.

Yup, Columbus.

I turned 30 in Tweets. Prior E.

One of my weapons school classmates was 43.
