The rule is that one can not be commissioned above 35 (At least that what is was back in my day) Therefroe one would have to go to OCS in time to finish by that age. You should be able to find the age easily if my number is wrong.

In the Air National Guard it is 35, thinking the same for Army guard.https://www.goang.com/join/officers

If you're currently an officer, please give us a call. We would love to talk to you. New officer applicants are required to have a college degree or be close to graduating with a college degree to apply.

The age now is 42 year old. I believe you have to commission before or on the day you turn 42. So if you are 41 they will often send you to the accelerated course. That is how it is in the Tennessee Army National Guard.

Google and you will find. If you can not do that I question if you are officer material or not???

It says you must commission before forty two years.

Specialist --- It certainly sounds like the highest rank you will make is your present rank. Do not waste instructors time trying to learn to be something that is reserved only for a select few.

Usually waiverable from age 35 to age 42 (as stated above). It does indeed depend on the state whether they want/need officers. Below age 35 no need for a waiver in the guard.
