Hey lads.
I'm interested in applying to join the RMR in the West Midlands. The question is, have I left it a bit too late and become a bit too long in the tooth? Any advice? I know the maximum age is 33, but I turn 30 in two months, so I know I'm in the older end of the age range and the process takes over a year.
Physically, I'm in good nick and I don't feel like I've aged past 20 haha. I've been weight training for over a year, not that I've managed to get as much done recently with the coronavirus impasse. I work 40 hours a week and I have a girlfriend and a 4-year-old son who I see at weekends, but I would be able to make time for all the commitments, including being mobilised for combat operations etc if the opportunity/requirement comes up.
This isn't the first time I considered this. When I finished uni a few years ago, I trained with the intention of applying to become an Officer in the RM (regulars), but other things in my life got in the way and time passes quickly. I think the Officer route in the RMR is closed to me now.
