Check with a recruiter/career counselor, as I never trust that the info I have isn't out of date.

The max age is 35.

For prior service, subtract your years of prior service from your age. If the result is at/under 35, you are good.

I believe that there is also a requirement that you can complete 20 good years prior to age 60 and a hard cap of 57.
