Hi everyone, my application was processed and the time has come, i’ll be starting basic training to go into the parachute regiment very soon.
I have a few concerns, the biggest one being my age, I’m currently 29 going into 30 in December, how big of a factor is age?
Also I feel like I’m ready but if there is anyone that can give me suggestions on how to maximise on that I would be very grateful.
Current strength and runs:
Deadlift 200kg, Bench 140kg, Military press 80kg, 14 pull ups.
I can run 2km in 8 min, 5km in 23min, 10km in 46min
Current body weight is 94kg.
Is it worth losing some weight before going? Are there things I should attempt and make sure I can achieve before going? Any info is appreciated thanks.
(I’m not worried about taking order from people younger and not taking shit, I want to do this, I’m mentally mature, and understand and accept the army dynamics)
Thanks
