Well, I did USUHS, but overall the limiting factors are the same.

1. You will incur a commitment to be served after completing all of your training (generally 1 yr for every year of HPSP scholarship, unless your residency is longer, in which case it's one-for-one of your residency time, not HPSP)

2. You require an age waiver if you will be commissioned after the age of 32 (? - somewhere around there). Generally not an issue.

3. For soldiers already on active duty you will need a formal letter of release from someone in your chain of command (I think it's the first O6 but don't quote me).

Still very do-able for those of advanced age as we are <g>. Although be forewarned - pulling 30-36 hours straight on call gets a little more difficult over the age of 40. Not impossible, just a little more difficult <g>. Feel free to pm me with any other questions, unless you think they'll be of general interest.
