Thread: Am I too old for the infantry

Hi

i would like to join the TA infantry,
iam fit and 41. i have previous experience with the Signals attended regular for about a year then relocated south. I contacted the local unit, wont be naming them, and he said their unit wont be taking people on over 34 ( unless previous experience ), but the situation is different for different units.
any advise would be welcome
cheers

Try a different unit?

Well having googled it, it would appear that the limits are 17-43.

But then again, a unit may well be over manned (may be...) and using this as a filter. They may also perceive that the return of service from you would not be worth the investment in this time of tight purse strings.
