    Hi guys need a few tips on what to do here, I am 24 (birthday in sep) and have gone into college as a mature student doing sport and rec. The course is 2 years long so i'll be coming up 26 when i finish, is there anyway to still join the army after my course. Thanks

    You will be too old for general service i.e. the non-comissioned route if you join then but you could still apply for a cadetship i.e. the commissioned route.

    You can also enlist in the Naval Service up to the age of 27.
