The age requirement is 30, but there are waivers. I've known guys who entered AF pilot training at 34 years old, so it is not too late. However, going through AFROTC is dicey, here is why. There are close to 1000 guys competing for slots each year with only 500 or so slots available, (this is constantly changing). So you have to compete. Traditionally, guys who started rotc later and finishing in less than 4 years (so guys who entered with a couple years of college already behind them) did not have as much time and experience as other cadets in the same year group. This put them at a disadvantage. I have seen guys do ROTC for 3 years and still get pilot slots amongst those guys who did 4 (or guys like me who did 5, hehe) but also i've seen a lot of 2 and 3 year guys only end up getting a navigator or Air battle manager slot. My recommendation is go guard, its a completely different process involving interviews and applications, and if you don't get a slot, try the following year and usually they will remember your name (especially if you made a good impression the previous year). ok good luck
