BL_224 Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 18 hours ago, MeekTiger0824 said: For those with experience being an older applicant or hiring a finalist needing an age waiver- I'm seeing 3 types of age limits on UPT postings: 1. 33 (some listing 30) 2. 33- Age Waivers case by case 3. 33- No Age Waivers For squadrons that listed 1 or 2, do you think it's worth it to fly out to their meet and greet or is it a hard rule? What if I was invited even though I'm over the age limit, should I say something? The reason I ask is because a squadron I interviewed with last year said they'll interview me for 2023 board and if chosen they'll push the paperwork for an age waiver. I remember last year they listed an age limit (I applied when I was below the age limit) which got me wondering how strict is the age limit? Also, should I be up front and list it on my resume and mention it at meet and greets? My mentor who is in a heavy squadron told me to NEVER mention it on my resume and if they want to find out my age they will figure it out. I had a bad experience doing this, I was chosen to interview for a slot and when they asked my age, I saw a few jaws dropped and they all scribbled furiously notes and I knew immediately I was out of consideration because of it. TIA Agree with the first two replies to this. I’m on the older end as well and was recently hired by a guard fighter unit. What I’ll add is to check out the AFMAN 36-2100. It very clearly explains the age limit and the ETP process. Getting gouge from unit hiring sites is good but going to the source can provide more clarity. Understanding the policy and the reference that the policy is found in does two things, first it helps you speak intelligently in an interview to how your age can be an asset and it also shows units that you’ve done your homework and are willing to put in the work to help the unit with the ETP to the max extent you can. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This thread has been ghost-town lately Bogidope has a bootcamp thing that brought a bunch of people together in a forum on their website and a whatsapp chat I think. Otherwise I've mostly been talking to people I've met at rushes/visits. Still monitor this thread once in a while but like you said not much going on here... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In years past they kind of only informed people who were close to getting an interview - or rushed. totally get the issues going cross country to rush, I wanted to go to the Vermont one then I looked at the costs of flights 😬 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yeah it's tough, I've been rushing all over the place east of the Mississippi which is hard enough with costs as it is, let alone going to all the units much further away too.
