Joining regiment at 29??!!

Post by pshoat »

What does everyone think of going into the RAF Regiment at the max age?? I've also been thinking of Royal Marines but posted msg on there and q few people think that the older you are the harder on your body the training and whole regime would be!!
How different would the RAF Reg. be?? Am I better doing this at such a late stage in my life. Can't see my life going anywhere else and don't want to regret doing either of these!!!
I'll be 29 in May next year, which would probly be when I'd be looking at doing either...... need to build up my fitness for a while first!!!

If you think its for you mate and you're fit enough go for it. I am currently on the tg course and there is 2 lads at the max age and both are doing well.

The Regt respects maturity, as long as you can hack the physical side and don't mind being a 30 year old LAC.
