Re-edit: Going back to the original post.
According the the NGB*, the absolute max is 41 years old (you have to be commissioned prior to your 42nd birthday), but this may change depending on the state you are in.
Looking at the OHNG criteria*, they give the same general guidance (commission prior to age 42).

* NGR 600-100, para 14-5a(2)

This requirement is not waiverable. "
My first post was "Generally, the max age is 42 but it can vary by state" ... then started seeing a lot of docs from NGB saying that 34 was max so I talked myself out of it and changed the description.
I think my first comment and your interpretation are right, especially since I just read another link on Colorado's NG site which says the exact thing.
