Better to ask strangers that don’t know me as I can also be more candid.
I asked here cos I wanted some “off the record opinions” from those in the know, rather than asking at an open day and sounding like a trigger happy gun nut :o)
I would prefer to go there, I’m getting P’d off sitting comfy at home twiddling my thumbs instead of helping the lads n lasses out so to speak. I’d join later after my college course whn I’d have more time, but would put things on hold and join now if I could go.
I left the TA ages ago just before the conflicts started, intending to re-join later, only to find out I couldn’t get back in a few years ago due to being too old. I’ve only just discovered i’m not too old for the RAF reserves.
Another thing is my weight. I’m into weight training so my bmi is over the limit, (not sure how strict they are)wearing my bike out to burn excess muscle off. not something I thought I’d be doing!
