Well, if that's your picture, I'd say you can probably keep up with the younger kids. But I'll tell you... I had been in over half my career when I was 33.
You need a degree. I'll presume you have that. You need to talk to somebody in the recruiting office who's cogent with respect to officer programs. It's best to talk with an officer, if you can, to get the ball rolling. He can at least tell you if you're eligible for an officer program. The stuff I'd give you is over a quarter of a century old. They'll have the latest information. Besides, if you speak with an officer, when you call back in a few days, you can say, "I was speaking with LT Smith a couple of days ago about (whatever program), and I have a couple of questions..." It seems to work better than, "Um... I have a couple questions about (whatever program)."
A word of advice if I may... an officer is more of a facilitator than a director. They didn't teach us that in OCS. I learned that because I started out enlisted. ;-)
Good luck.

You are too old to become a Commissioned Officer. 27 is that cut off. You can become a Warrent Officer.

Nope, If you have college and can complete your officer training by the time you are 36. You will be ok. You might need an age waiver if you don't have any previous military experience. But if you are highly motivated they you can get in.
