[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thoughts? Haven’t met anyone in the SF but I’m intrigued about the fact that the age max is 42. I’m late thirties. [/quote]

With a few exceptions, most USSF uniformed people change duty stations  every 2-4 years. Most billets are either at bases along the Colorado Front range (Buckley, Schriever, Peterson), at launch sites (Patrick near Cape Canaveral or Vandenberg on the California coast), or in Metro DC. They also have a few billets on Kauai, in the UK, one isolated site in the Dakotas, and at each COCOM HQ.

It is the smallest military (DoD) service.  So it probably is the hardest military service to get an officer commission from.

Their officers very often are STEM graduates, with a visibly higher percentage of STEM graduates than the other services. For that age, they likely would very strongly prefer a STEM graduate. AeroE, AstroPhysics, ECE, or CS degree would be examples of degrees they might desire.

They also are setting up a part-time officer position. It is analogous to a reserve officer position in other services, but is structured in a new and unique way. Too early to know how well or poorly that will work.

Good luck![/quote]
