Hi Tom I was 33 when I joined it's never too late, in fact it's the best thing that I have ever done as you are a bit more mature and focused. I actually found it better to be honest as I had previous life experience, that got me through basic training I have never looked back. I have attached a link below hope that helps good luck Tom.

Hi Tom, yes we get people joining who are aged between 16 and 36. Over recent years more and more people who are older are joining. So yes go for it otherwise you will never know what might have been and possibly regret it in the future.

Tom. Go for it, your life experiences will be a great benefit to you. As the guys have said you don't want to regret not doing it. Good luck.
