how does a 42-43 year old get a commission? Thought one had to be already in the military (which the ADMIN his father serves is vastly reducing) by age 35???
FWIW:

Biden’s son joins Navy Reserve

The attorney and former lobbyist applied for a commission into the Navy Reserve as a public affairs officer and was selected, the Navy said Friday. Because Hunter Biden is 42, he needed a special waiver to be accepted, but that is not uncommon. He is one of seven candidates recommended for a direct commission for public affairs.
The direct commission process allows individuals to apply and become a reservist if they have particular skills or professional expertise. A board of senior Navy officers interviewed the candidates and made the recommendations.
