    Numbers and dates have only been released for the East and South.

    It's safe to assume that they're still working on getting numbers confirmed for the West and DFTC.

    Ha, I know that....sure thats all any of us do here!

    I have physically seen the permission that was granted by Dept of Finance. It was for 80 Recruits total. No sign of any for DFTC or the West....obviously persmission has been sought by the DF for extra.

    Maybe that's why the recruits for the west and curragh not being taken in until early next year.
    80 each year?

    Quite possible but Id imagine the DF would try to squeeze out more Recruits with the leftovers of this years budget. Then they could potentially get another 150or so next year.

    Can anyone tell me if colourblindness is an issue in the defense forces?

    Is there a colourblind test in the medical?

    Google 'Ishihara'. That's the test they use.
