Newbie Enquiry

[Adam Lewin]

Hello all,

Thanks for accepting me onto this forum.

Going to ask a maybe silly question, but it needs to be asked, am I too old to join the UK Merchant Navy at 48 years old (turning 49 in October).

If this is a negative, are there any other arms of the UK forces that I could join?

Thanks for your answers in advance.

Adam
