Think you’re too old to join the Army Reserve? Think again.⁣
⁣
The age limit for a number of Army Reserve roles has increased, with some roles now accepting applications up to 48.⁣
⁣
So if you’ve always fancied giving it a go but thought you’d left it too late, it might be worth taking another look.⁣
⁣
Age is just a number! ⁣

Bridging is a large part of being a Royal Engineer. ⁣
⁣
At 299, we train to build and operate military bridges, often in difficult conditions and as part of a wider task. It’s practical, hands-on work, and there’s plenty of scope to learn something useful whilst challenging yourself. ⁣
⁣
Are you interesting in learning new skills and meeting new people? ⬇️⁣
