No way pal... I did my QL3/BIQ with a guy that was 49. Didnt slow him down very much.
And if you want my opinion, we could use a guy like you in our company specifically. Most of the experienced guys are getting out, gone, on callout... by february we wont have any master corporals, like 4 corporals including myself, and an army of privates who just finished course 4 months ago who are from 16-19 years old.
Maybe you can contribute to some badly needed first aid training ;D. We havn't had any in quite some time... not since I first got in 2.5 years ago...
Anyway, anybody coming in thats over the minimum age, isnt going anywhere right away, and has previous military experience sounds good to me ;D
Heres hoping you get a quick and painless acceptance.
