The only way I'd join at 35 is as an officer.


Just need a 4 year degree for that right?

Not typically any 4 year degree, but I met AF pilot trainees with lib arts degrees like poli sci. Probably need to pull a good score on the AFOQT with a non-technical degree. Imagine it’s somewhat similar for the other services. Not sure what the age cutoff is now but it used to be around 35 for line officers and around 28 for pilots. Commissioned after completing OTS.
If you’re going JAG or medical the cutoff is higher (into the 40s) and you go to a knife and fork type OTS as an already commissioned officer.
