Is there a maximum waiverable age for becoming an Army pilot?

I know there's a cut-off age for becoming a flight WO. I also know that it's waiverable. Is there a max age that they'll be willing to waiver?

SSG Private RallyPoint Member I would say, check w/ the Air Force since we have such a shortage of pilots...lol. I mean, you could fly the A-10.
I would think, and I'm just spitballing, that the demand for pilots seems to be going up, so the waiver age might be getting a bit more lax, too.

Army is short on helo pilots as well. I believe they are trying recruiting and retention bonuses either now or rolling out soon. Also, many state NG's are also short. I thought it was 35 but then I heard you had to be in flight school before 33. I'm in school right now and 32 so I can personally vouch for 32 not requiring a waiver.
