Just got DA selected to got to the DS school but I’m almost 40 years old and pretty much I have 3 years left in the Army when I finish the school. Back in 2013 I requested to go and got denied because I had a little problem in one of my NCOER, but now im a lot older , 17 years In and got selected. Is theres a possibility I can cancel the school?

Just like PCS orders, it tough for you not to go and not going can be detrimental to your career. I agree call your branch to see what options you may have is your best bet. Couple war stories for you - 1) I had an NCO a few years back who was centrally selected, didn't want to go but decided to go. When he failed the school (on purpose) he was sent back to the unit and was immediately PCS by branch to another post. He basically wanted to retire at our current post and that didn't obviously happen and he PCS'd to Korea. War Story (2) I had 3 NCOs who became Drill Sergeant "kicking and screaming all the way." They actually loved the experience and 2 where promoted along the way will on the trail. 1 of those NCOs retired after being a DS at a grade higher than if he had not gone.

No chance. Your best bet is simply to be disqualified. A few years ago you could cancel DS, but now you absolutely will go. You don't have enough time in to do a retirement in lieu of PCS either.
