This is encouraging.Especially for those who are fit for their age I recently stopped an amateur fight career and feel as fit as any 20 year old.I just hope it's fair dinkum and you are given the chance before being looked over
Thanks for all the info on this topic i am 36 and have intentions on joining the infantry interested in reserve but more i think about it and gain information about the Army full-time is expelling more and more to me. Is there walk in training sessions at the Barracks Gym eg a Saturday i live on the Gold Coast and would be great to see where my fittness level is at. Thanks.
Hey Matt, No we don't have walk-ins. Our training is very specific with each day having a different focus. You're welcome to a 2 week trial though and everyone starts on a Monday. If that's of interest to you then shoot us through an email here [email protected] Regards, Michael
thanks for info
Thanks for the encouragement. At 47 I am reasonably fit and healthy and about to transfer back to Full-time service. One thing I’ve noticed on course with younger members is that older members often have great resilience. I am relying on this to see me through my current training plan to be at a level to complete a Combat PESA prior to the start of the course.
