Yeah, speaking of which, because I was already in the system, age wasn't a real issue. My only problem now is that I have been placed in command of an Infantry Platoon at an age the wrong side of 40!(they wouldn't commission directly to Captain, but luckily still fit enough to do the job)
yes, yes it is!!!Its all about how old you feel anyway, right? Right?
yes, yes it is!!!
I can still run 15km (9.5miles) in 1hr10min, so I'm still faster than some of the young guys, which annoys them no end!
I didn't used to be, but I'm building for a half-marathon in 6 weeks time and so have been getting used to it.You can definitely outdistance me...I've never been much of a distance runner, and I'm worthless after about 10k. I'm a pretty fast sprinter over shorter distance, though.
And swimming, too. You infantry types dive right in and swim a few miles if need be. We engineers build a bridge and then have a smoke.
My swimming is miserable!! The one triathlon I did, I breast-stroked most of it with a kayak shadowing me for safety. Passed a lot of people on the cycle/run phases though.And swimming, too.

You know what, I think you are probably right.
