dont quote me on this but if you are prior service, I think they take the number of years you have served and subtract that by your age and thats the the age they use,

For example your 41 lets say you served for 15 years they will consider you to be 26 for eligibility purposes

Again dont quote me on that i am not 100% sure, You should talk to a recruiter

You'd have to talk to a Recruiter to see if your RM service would count towards the age waiver. Best of luck to you.

On a personal note, I don't see California offering any proper tea! ;)

The PRK (Peoples Republic of Kalifornia) would probably put you on the terror watch list just for trying!!!!
