Answer
Kevin,

    I would say it would be up to the individual Dept. you apply for. I would be sure to have some documentation to back you up. I'm sure they will take all including your age at the time into consideration. It's really hard to say that it would automatically disqualify you but it can create a question as to weather you would be a prime candidate. However you have nothing to loose, If I were you I would give it my best shot.
