Question
What is the age limit to do a interservice transfer as a Navy O-1 into the USMC? I know the age limit for OCS is 32 but do not know if there is a waiver for those with a Direct Commision from the Navy.
My question was very specific, "What is the age limit to do a Interservice transfer to the Marine Corps having a Direct Commision in the Navy as an O-1?" and not anwsered. My current age has no bearing on what the USMC has a limit.
Ensign,
First may I remind you you're talking to an 0-6. With your attitude no wonder the Navy wants the USMC to take you.
I really wish you had read my answer. Your current age has EVERYTHING to do with the transfer. There is no set limit as each case is reviewed individually. I don't want to know your age, I'm just trying to get you to think about it. OCS has nothing to do with an interservice transfer.
