Can I ask for and get an age waiver for Aviator or an Active Federal Service (AS) waiver for Technician?
Yes, but don’t assume it will be approved just because you ask for it. Approval authority rests with the Deputy Chief of Staff for Personnel (DCSPER), at HQDA. The standards for an age waiver (Aviators over 33 by the date the board convenes) or an AS waiver (for anyone who has reached 12 years of AFS) are very stringent. You should explain unique circumstances or special skills and justify why you did not apply for WO before the waivers were required.
