Question
What is the current Army ROTC age limit for non prior enlistment? Also is there a age waiver for non prior enlistment Army ROTC applicants over 30? I am researching information on joining the Army ROTC at age 31. I have no prior military experience.

Answer
To be an ROTC applicant you must be enrolled in college and go to classes. Further information can be found at this link: http://www.goarmy.com/rotc/index.jsp
If you are just talking about becoming an officer, you are eligible but must have a degree, complete basic training, and then attend officer candidate school. A recruiter could give you more information on this.

I am currently an active duty Army Captain in the Military Police Field. I have been enlisted (Military Intelligence) and attended The United States Military Academy at West Point. I can answer questions related to the Army, posting, jobs, lifestyle, workings... pretty much anything you can throw at me with the exception of very specific recruting or medical questions. I have no expertise in what it takes to get in the military other than the fact that I, myself, joined at one point in time.
