Question
hello im a recent college grad and im getting ready to go to pharm school i have always wanted to join air force upon graduating can you tell me what the cut off age would be for a pharmcist with pharmd?
Dear Kimberly --
Currently the maximum age to join the military is 42. That could change, if the military needs decrease in the near future.
However, if you have an advanced degree in a field the military has difficulty recruiting, you can get a direct commission, or an age waiver to join.
Good luck with your schooling. Write back, if you have more questions as your graduation date nears.
