Any experts around? Specifically on the rules and regs of re-enlistment.
I was talking to an old mate of mine last night and he is on about joining a local TA unit. Trouble is that he was booted out post Falklands. He's had a chat with them regarding his age (45) they're ok with that, limit is apparently 53!! Talk about Dads Army!
Anyway, here's the story;
Came back from the Falklands as a messed up 19 year old and got into all sorts of trouble. Usually daft things. Travelled the well worn route, three month warning order etc and found himself booted out SNLR.
Since then he eventually sorted himself out and now holds down a good job with a responsible position. Not been in any civilian trouble but went through the mill in a big way post Falklands (not alone in that I hear you say) nor was he alone in getting booted out. There is a commonly held belief that there was a purge on Falklands Vets in the couple of years following 82 but thats another story.
Back to the point; does anyone have any gen advice on the regs regarding joining the TA after a SNLR ?
Edit: forgot to say, he's fit as a lop. Tested himself the other day; mile and a half was just over 9 minutes.
