I am a 32 (almost 33) year old 1LT in the Army looking to do a interservice transfer to the USAF and go to UPT. I am currently a UH-60M pilot. I have 10 years of active service. I also have 5 years left on my active duty service obligation. I've read through AFI 36-2004, AFI 36-2005, and AFI 36-2205 and I don't see anything that would definitely stop me. It will not be easy but I think it is possible. The few Air Force people I've talked to said that age waivers and exemption to policies will not happen but I brought up the regulation and I don't think they have read them. My situation is kind of unique so im not sure what I can do. I don't want to bring it up to my command before i'm sure it can be done because if it fails i don't want to be known as that guy who tried and failed to jump ship. My questions are:
Has anyone seen or heard of anyone in UPT being older than 30? Did they get a waiver or ETP?
Will my ADSO be an issue? Could it be transferred into the USAF?
Are there any regulations out there that I have missed that could help me?
4.Would it be possible to transfer to a similar airframe in the Air Force directly?
I've heard of a couple people doing something similar but they didn't talk about if they had age issues to deal with. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
