Will I have a harder time getting into the Air Force because I am older?

I am 31 years old and next year I plan on becoming an officer with the US Air Force. Their cut off age is 35. I was just wondering if they will look down on me because I will be close to the cut off age. I have 2 BAs and I speak 3 languages. I also have a 4.0 GPA and am studying for the GRE to start my PhD is Psychology.

If you have your head on straight, and treat people below you with the respect they deserve, and always keep your cool, people will always be looking up to you. Trust me.

Everyone loves a great officer.
And everyone hates a bad one.

That all depends if you fit any other their pc categories. It appears your female (that's worth something), if you're hispanic, afreakn' american even better. Also which languages you speak/read. Goferit!!

Your well qualified and should have absolutly no problem with getting in or having people look down on you! If you want to join as an officer, I say don't waste anymore time thinking about it...just go for it, Good Luck!
