Simple question simple answer Max enrolment age.

[Probie]

I am 57 years old, served 5 years in the infantry '74-79. Attained rank of Cpl., completed overseas tour and so on. Question is, "Am I able to re enlist at his age. I am set on returning to the infantry if at all possible?" Be honest, lets not waste anyone's time. I can pass the physical (running would be tight). Thanks, look forward to a reply.

Good day,

The maximum enrolment ages are as follows:

Regular Force Officers and Non-Commissioned Members (NCMs) – Must have sufficient time to complete a Variable Initial Engagement (VIE) for the occupation to which they are enrolled prior to reaching the compulsory retirement age (CRA) of 60.  The length of a VIE varies depending upon the operational requirements of each occupation and the training time required for an individual to become fully employable. 

That being said the VIE for Infantry is 3 years meaning that you would not have sufficient time to complete your VIE before reaching CRA.
