Hello all! I am new to this forum, but am trying to get as much info as I can.
I am currently in college (again) and am majoring in Physics. I was previously considering becoming a Physics teacher, because the economy has forced me to do a lat move from my previous career.
I am also prior service. I was air-wing and honorably discharged. I came across a site that had some info for the NUPOC program and really became interested in the NPS instructor option (mostly because of the age waiver). Provided I qualify for the waiver, I would still be within the age limit at the time of graduation.
I already read a lot of the other posts, looking for the answers to my questions, so I know that being an instructor would not give me any experience necessary to get a job as a civilian in any kind of nuclear capacity. I am really good at being able to help people understand things, so I am quite okay with the instructor position.
My big question is what actually qualifies as a good reason for an age waiver? Also, besides speaking with a recruiter, is there any other way for me to find out the Navy's current need for instructors?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. And I do apologize for the running-on.
