I was really hoping to apply, train and work as a dog handler, but I am 54 years old. Are there any exceptions?

Just wanted to know if there are any exceptions to the current age limits?

    Hello Jim,

    Sadly there are no exceptions to the upper ages of new enlistment for soldier entry, which for regular army is 36 and reservists is 50. If you have previously served, there are allowances for people re-enlisting and the upper age limit is 57.

    I hope this helps.
