Can someone confirm that if I enlist as a 35M HUMINT and try to packet to 37F PSYOPS but fail selection, I’ll revert to 35M. Not looking to be an MP.

I’m looking to get some more information about PSYOPS. For context, I’m 34 and I’ve been practicing law for about 7 years. I don’t really find it rewarding, and as I’ve gotten older, I’ve regretted not serving more and more. I think I will one day really regret it, but age is becoming a factor fast so its either now or never. I am drawn to PSYOPS because I’m really into the geopolitics and cultural analysis aspects. I know the fine details of selection are probably classified, but I’m hoping to get some guidance on whether a 34 year old with a law degree would fit with the culture, what the day-to-day looks like once selected, whether physical or analytical ability is more important for selection, what separates those who pass from those who don’t, what do career prospects look like on the other side, what did you wish you kew going in, etc. I have a 99 ASVAB and 112 DLAB and passed MEPS. My recruiter is just waiting for my green light to find a training seat.

I have reached out to my recruiter, but he hasn’t been able to track a 37F down to speak with directly.

Any insight is appreciated and thanks in advance.
