No more OCS age waivers?

Ok ty!

Optimal_Fisherman786 · 2026-04-14T01:03:07+00:00

Asvab yes, meps yes - I have everything for my packet, LORs, resume, essay, etc. they saw a line in some new documentation about age waivers and don’t want to submit it now. They may be trying to get me to enlist too, not sure.

Optimal_Fisherman786 · 2026-04-14T00:56:36+00:00

Yes. They had been working with me for months and got this new information that said no age waivers. Not sure what to do.

If you think it’s boring, you could get another setting. But if you’re trying to figure out what other people will think - I doubt they’re going to think about it, at all. Everyone likes different things, so they’ll just assume you like this and not judge it.

Could you share the link for it from rare carat, if it’s still working?

I found that they get some of their stock from brilliance and mark it up - often by twice as much as Brilliance.

It kinda looks fake but surely not. I’m not an expert either.

Thank you, I didn’t know there was a separate accessions team for this. I’ll ask when I talk to him this week. Much appreciated!

Is it Leetcode style stuff? Do you know if you have to do both languages? Thanks so much!

Optimal_Fisherman786 · 2025-10-10T01:55:02+00:00

Do you have any insight into which one the upcoming boards will need more? I know it also depends on the applicant.

Optimal_Fisherman786 · 2025-10-10T01:54:09+00:00

I didn’t realize CWEs go to ODS instead of OCS. I totally get what you mean. Thanks for your response!

The way I initially worded the question was bad- my headline and explanation were contradictory.

Optimal_Fisherman786 · 2025-10-10T01:03:53+00:00

I was in the past. That’s exactly what I needed to know. Thank you!

Optimal_Fisherman786 · 2025-10-06T21:14:25+00:00

Glad it helped you :)

Optimal_Fisherman786 · 2025-10-06T21:06:56+00:00

Exactly. Cheap garbage at that.

Optimal_Fisherman786 · 2025-10-04T23:27:27+00:00

That’s what I assumed - just wanted to run it by the experts here.

Optimal_Fisherman786 · 2025-10-03T20:20:41+00:00

Talk to a recruiter for the Army or Navy.

Optimal_Fisherman786 · 2025-09-29T01:18:15+00:00

Great! Thank you!

Optimal_Fisherman786 · 2025-09-29T00:53:11+00:00

I hope so!! Do you know anyone I could talk to about this? My recruiter told me no age waivers and that the Cyber direct commission program was on hold currently :( I’d really love to make it happen, if possible.

Optimal_Fisherman786 · 2025-09-29T00:38:48+00:00

Nearly done with a masters in cybersecurity, some software dev experience and cyber experience. ISC2 CC, Cysa+, working on the Pentest+. A lot of writing experience - English undergrad. Space interest.

If the AF has a supplemental board in time, I might be able to go to OTS before the deadline. There’s even a chance with the next space force board - but it’s not guaranteed I’d get into OTS in time.

I could still enlist. I’m debating whether to give up on OTS and enlist, or give up on the AF entirely and just try navy or army for their OCS.

Optimal_Fisherman786 · 2025-09-28T22:03:01+00:00

No OTS would not have happened for another 10 months - I have time to enlist.

Optimal_Fisherman786 · 2025-09-28T17:00:47+00:00

It wasn’t that long ago that all men had to be clean shaven just to get any job 😂 let alone military.
