He has also told me that at 35 years old, I am still eligible for this program because he can do an age waiver for my prior AD service (3 years). Is this also correct?

If anyone can answer this for me or point me in the right direction for who I should talk to, I would be grateful. I just want to make sure I am indeed signing up for 18X when I sign the dotted line.
Hey 25MM,
I just reviewed my contract to confirm this, and nowhere does it say anything about 11x. The only time it refers it is on my job qualifications information page, "Applicant will complete 11B OSUT". I am also prior service as you are, but having a prior 19D MOS means that I need to get the 11B MOS. So again if it doesn't show 18X, than it probably isn't something you should sign. If you have any more questions, feel free to PM me.

Scooterdude REP-63 is the National Guards equivalent to the 18X program, but you probably already knew that.
