I am a 38 year old male. With full 4 year degree and NPS. Am I eligible for this program? I'm having trouble getting response from local recruiters...do I make a pest of myself in calling? It says waiver to 39 but no caveat about prior service.
Thanks
"Accelerated Petty Officer Program - If you are ready to learn an exciting new career field, have a desire to serve and are between the ages of 30 and 35, (we are currently accepting age waivers up to age 39), this may be the program for you. With a minimum of two years college (or equivalent), you will be eligible to enlist at a higher pay grade, attend just two weeks of Reserve Basic Indoctrination, then receive advanced training in a critical field (Boatswain Mate, Machinery Technician, Operation Specialist or Marine Science Technician). Valuable training, an opportunity to serve, and immediate advancement are just a few of this program's many advantages."

If you meet all that stuff, it shouldn't be a problem. But it's ultimately up to the recruiter. Stay on him/her. If they get sick of you, they will let you know.
I am in the same situation as you (age, NPS, etc). Keep on the recruiters! Sometimes they are not all on the same page. There are good ones that will help you, just be persistent!
Hey Duckcop you in the USCGR? I am a CO from IA and trying to get in the reserves.
