Honest advice

Alright just wandering if anyone has any advice on what I should do.
Basically I was in regular training for RM and opted out, this was quite recent. As soon as I got on the train I knew I made a bad decision. I literally see it as the biggest mistake of my life. I've been given the minimum reapply time (6 months). I obviously want to go back but I know that redoing selection etc will take up to a year. By that time I will be close to 28. I feel like this is abit old to be in training? This has got me thinking about RMR, as then i can look at finding a career or whatever. I just wonder if doing RMR will fill the void left by leaving lympstone? Or will I still always have that massive regret in my heart.

Cheers

Suggest you make a post on this site.

Very much orientated towards those also in your situation.

I would also say that passing out of training at 28 is perhaps not as uncommon as you may think.
