Upper-age limit for the Paras
Upper-age limit for the Paras
Is it still 26 years old for the upper-age limit for para reg, or have they had to go with the government's new policy & take in people up to 33?

Age limits
Hi, have a look here: http://www.army.mod.uk/para/soldier_rec ... /index.htm
It says upper age 33, like the rest of the army.
Are you applying? How old are you mate?

It's for the whole army, not just the Paras. They're short of recruits so they're letting everyone have a crack at it, not just young 'uns. However, the Paras' standards won't have changed, so they'll still have good quality men training to be paratroopers. Age means nothing. If you're fit enough, you're young enough.
