hey..

i was having a doubt bout a thing, wanted to get a clear picture frm you!

recently i came across an advt for openings in Airforce, wherein they had mentioned the age eligibility criterion as -should be born on or after 2nd july 1988. Unfortunately i was born on 25th June 1988. will the weeks difference matter or it can still be considered, thats in case of my eligibility?

Thank you in anticipation.

Regards,
Shilpa
