Question: What is the maximum age to become an officer in the Military? Answer: By law, the maximum age for a commission is age 35. This is because a military officer must be able to have 20 years of service, to be retirement eligible by the maximum retirement age of 55. There are a few exceptions: Military medical officers and chaplains can be commissioned up to the age of 47 with waivers into their 50s (they also don't have to retire by age 55). Depending upon the need for doctors, psychologists, chaplains (all faiths), and legal officers as well, the maximum age can be waived.
