    Go and knock on the local TA Centre door, and ask. Don't rely on this site for sensible answers.

    Go on do it today Good Luck!
    For England and St George!

    Miserable bastard is my default setting!

    Go today, there aren't many units that don't have a PSI on duty. At least there weren't when I was a PSI.

    Re: age limits

    Max age limits for TA currently as follows:

    Soldier 44
    Officer 35

    Regular limits:

    Soldier 33
    Officer 29
    PQO Varies dependant on specialism

    Doubtless these will all change by tomorrow but should give an indication of where you stand. There are also all sorts of caveats and loopholes but these should be identified at either the TAC or the Careers Office.
