Re-enlistment after age 28?
I'm 25 now and plan on enlisting in a year or so after I take care of some personal matters. Assuming I enlist at 26 and get discharged at 30, can I then get my bachelor's and apply for officer training? Thanks.

You may want to fill out the rest of your profile there so we know who we are talking to.

Unlike the other profile enforcer in front of me, I'll try to help you out. Your best bet is to talk to a Recruiter and get this info from them. If you plan on staying longer than one enlistment, why not stay in and earn your Bachelor degree while you are enlisted. Plenty of great Officers started off as enlisted and many Marines attend college classes while serving. Addditionally, read the posts on here of Marines who have left the Corps after four years or more, and are now fighting to re-enlist.
Hope this helps

35 is the max constructive age for going into the officer program... minus the 4 years you will be in, you can be 39 before you are too old.... but you need to ship prior to that age.
as FJ said... you'd be better off working on a degree while on active duty.
try not to pick infantry if you plan to do this.

fjmas1976, if these young men and women would take the time and fill out all of their profiles "before making a post", I wouldn't be known as the profile enforcer.
I got my arse chewed out in a PM when I joined here for not filling out all of mine, so...these wannabes and poolees are no different.

I agree with LAS in this case.... rules is rules... and you've got to follow the rules or it's anerchy... (just watched robin williams in popeye)

i heard somewhere that 29 is the oldest you can be for OCS w/o a waiver or prior service...BUT my memory is cloudy and I may have confused OCS with flight school...not sure but i'd ask my recruiter if i were you
