Totally gutted.....

[kosmolinekid]

I am fit now at 55 as I was at 45 in fact I am 10 lb lighter. I still do weight training with guys my age. 6 ft 225 still benching 300 + . The only time I feel old is when people tell me I'm old. Don't let other people tell us we're old ! I still feel 20 yrs old probably because I am single again.

Sometimes you just have to go straight to the horses mouth, not happy with the news I got last year, I looked a bit further afield and contacted a REME unit, Regular and reserve, spoke to a Major who invited me down for an informal interview, it didn't take long and a quick look at my qualifications they started the ball rolling again, re opened my application then applied for an age waiver, this was a problem (not the REME's fault) it went off but was diverted when it reached the correct dept... so just before Christmas, age waiver come through, official interview held in Jan (only thing missing was a bar and a few pints) selection and final interview passed last week, waiting now for security checks and a reference (which has been returned) so just waiting to get sworn in.... fitness is well up and 2 stone lighter than this time last year, have to take my hat off to the Major and WO2 who have gone out their way to get me in.
