Just learned this week that the Eastern Bde are not allowing any person over the age of 40 to serve in Chad, Kosovo is an exception, anyway the excuss i was given from Bn Ord room is a repat is too costly, rediculous cos any Member under 40 can take sick too, the Main problem is for Techies, not Lines, most Techies with vast expeirence are over 40 and most of these would be Chefs, Drivers, Fitters etc... so the Eastern Bde are going to have a major problem on thier hands very soon and even sooner is the fact that a lot of members are now going to be detailed to go there, and Lads please dont give me the speech why didnt they go for promotion to allow them serve to 45yrs,, remember over the years we had embargos and courses were not run, i fail to understand if im 39 today i can serve overseas but if i was 40 next week im not????????? beyond rediculous!!!!!!!

Obviously somebody, somewhere has either done a medical study
or has evaluated a medical report with regards age and active service
and realizes that over 40, in certain areas of the world like Chad,
pose more problems to get a sick person out than if on main-land Europe.
There are probably more chances of dealing with whats seen as a minor medical liability in Europe
where most local towns have very good medical facilities,
than some fly speck o.p. / firebase on the map in the middle of nowhere.
It would put matters into perspective if any members with medical knowledge
could post facts & figures with regards the most common ailments that could hit at 40+
as opposed to 18+

Eh, i dont know where that is coming from cos the CS for mech coy 99th Bn will be 42 going over, and i havent seen a single document stating that over 40s are not allowedReligion is like a puddle thinking that the hole in the ground that it sits in is so perfect for it that some higher being must have created it
