Question about age & joining

[Godwinlee]

Thanks alot Eaglelord!

Which RC did you enlist at if I may ask? Also i'm curious, did you make it into your unit?

 

[George Wallace]

Please don't be passing on incorrect information.  This question has already been asked hundreds of times and the last was just as recent as a couple of days ago. 

NO. 

That is the correct answer.  You CAN NOT apply and start processing to enroll in the Reserves before you are sixteen.  You can fill out all the paperwork to your hearts content, but it will not be processed.

Please refer to these topics:

Saw this in Ask a CAF Recruiter and would like to add it here,

To join the Reserve Force at the age of 16, will require both parental consent and enrolment as a full-time high school student.

I'm not sure if this should be in recruiting or not but I'm 15 about to be 16 and I have strong interest in joining the reserves and later on the army. Does anyone know if because of my age I would be ineligible for some of the training/courses. Also when would I be able to complete BMQ without missing a lot of school?

Mariomike found all kinds of information for you.  If you are incapable of finding this easily accessible information, perhaps you are not in the possession of the qualities required to join.

Another multi-merge. Some of the links that mariomike provided (you really should put out a big tip jar, mariomike) have now been rolled into this thread and are no longer active.
