I'm a former Marine with a Bach. Degree and good civilian career, joining the Guard/ mos 46Q. I'm 41...so I'm too old for OCS.Any advice for an old-timer & can anyone give advice about school for 46Q / Public Relations. Thanks.
The cut-off in the Air Guard was 35, and I barely got in under that by a couple of days, actually graduating in the same week as my birthday. Was told that had my birthday come first, despite being 5th in the class, no commission would have been granted - -
Army may be different - - good luck . . .
