§ Mr. Robert C. BrownThe age limits for commissioning or enlistment into the TAVR are set out in the Regulations for the Territorial and Army Volunteer Reserve 1967. These regulations permit selective exceptions to the age limit for commission or enlistment to be granted, and so a person with a particularly needed skill could be enlisted if he was required, even though he did not come within the specified age limits.
