he's scheduled to have knee arthroscopy next week ? ( a non-invasive knee surgery, he doesn't know what his doctor will find out ).
I asked this question a short time ago, but now his medical procedure came into the picture. He assured me that this arthroscopy will not affect his deployment to Afghanistan in November or December, he says he'll be with Special Forces. He's 57, going through knee arthroscopy, and he says he'll be deployed soon and will join Australian Special Forces.....
I think this guy is a lying to me, and after this arthroscopy, he'll be deployed to his home once and for all.
I know for sure he's a Major, but I think he's a lying machine too, what do you think ?.

If everything is fine with his knee and he passes the medical before he leaves then he is fine to go. A non invasive prodecdure won't hinder a deployment unless they actually find something. There are alot of jobs with the special forces which aren't actual combat roles but having said this all and I mean 100% of special forces members DO NOT talk about deployments. Your not allowed to. If your deployed somewhere as part of a special force then only your immediate family will have any idea of the country your serving in and your not allowed to tell anyone else nor allow your identity to be known as being in the special forces. If this person isn't an immediate member of your family then it's highly unlikely that he is in the special forces.

I am not going to look up Australia's enlistment requirements but if you look at ours it is very possible. I know that the Army will let you stay in up to 60 as long as you do not exceed 30 years doing that. Many Reserve and Guard units have guy's that old. It happens by break in service years, joining at an older age, leaving and coming back. I saw a "prior service" write up on the Army's site stating you could re-up up to 59 as long as you could complete 20 years service by your 60th b-day. It's also possible that the Guard and Reserve allow some time beyond 60. SSG US Army 73-82

If he does nothing more than sit at a desk, he is a cut above the liberal left who want to lose this battle with the Islam terrorists! USMC 60-68
