Is it possible to join the Royal Marines at age 33 and 9 mths?..or is the reserves my only choice?

Question

I have passed the Potential Royal Marines course 18 mths ago but had to withdraw due to family circumstances at the time (pregnant wife)...now i seem too old but still capable and willing

Answer 1

The Royal Marine Age limit is 32 years old, but you could definitely get a waiver for being only a year and nine months off. Good luck with your family and the Royal Marines and thank you for your choice!

Answer 2

Way to old! you would only be fit for office duties and not for combat.
