Yesterday, i received a medical deferral for a migraine i had around a year ago. I will have to wait until l April 2020 (14 months from now) before i can even reapply. Obviously i am gutted as i had my heart set on this but such is life and i very much plan to reapply in April of next year. Instead of joining at the age of 19, i will be 21 when i start basic training, if all goes well. I'd like to know the benefits of joining at the age of 21 instead of 19, and how the 14 months wait could affect me. Any and all advice is welcome, thanks.
