Pub. L. 84-737, tit. II, sec. 202

Sec. 202. No person may be appointed in a commissioned grade in the Regular Air Force under this title if on the date of appointment he has already passed his thirtieth birthday. However, the maximum age limitation is increased by the period of active commissioned service in the Armed Forces performed after the appointee became twenty-one years of age and before his appointment. In addition the Secretary of the Air Force may waive the maximum age limitation for any category in which, in his opinion, there is an inadequate number of officers with the required qualifications, but no person may be appointed under this Act if he is above the age which would permit him to complete twenty years of active commissioned service before he attains his fifty-fifth birthday.
