This is a five-year pilot program, if you become an active duty veteran you can participate as long as it is available.
Well I'm sixty years old I can't be on active duty again, But I really want to apply for this program, Is there any other option for me?
Of course, you can explain your case to program's director and maybe you can get an exception, remember that this is a five-year program and you can participate as long as it is available.
