Should the maximum age to join the Reserves be above or below 50?Totally with you on this Rocket5539 (is that the last three digits of your army number btw?!) and I appreciate your post is from some year's ago but I've just stumbled across it searching for "over 50 reservists' as, like you, I'm an ex regular (Gunbunny RA) whose kept fit with running, gym work etc. over the years since my service from '86 to '91 and looking to do something a bit different. I did speak to a guy at an Armed Forces Day event, a squaddie who said I should go for it but didn't get around to following up. But I agree it would be better to interview and assess people on face value not just fob off over the phone as not all 50 yr olds are old knackers, some of us have maintained fitness to a good level and could probably give younger recruits who perhaps don't have the same determination/mental stamina a run for their money! Cheers.
