No make sure to wear some sexy undies and your good to go lol

I think people shoukd calm down a bit, different brigades are well behind eachother and apparantky if u were being rejected you'd have been told already.

Keep the faith lads, believe and be positive.

I've donr my medical in Dublin already so if anyone has any questions they can pm me or whatever.

Regards.

hey all, im delighted for those who are about to start this month and those who will in oct!! congrats ye did well . Ive been put on the panel for 2015 and im fairly annoyed at it simply because I've no idea when it will be or even if it will go ahead. Anyone have any idea to the possible dates for 2015? As in would it be the end of 2015 or near the start? didn't they do something like a panel with the 2012 recruitment for 2013? any info would be gratefully appreciated

i was put on the panel for 2015 for the army but do not a clue even if it will go ahead it said on my email it all depends on the vacancies that may arise in 2015 subject to government approval.my cousin got the same email.

i think it all depends on if their is people that could not finish off the training and when they have gone through the extra people i think then they will start to pull from the 2015 group,and then it depends how far up the list you are my cousins friend told him that he is in the army.
so i wouldnt put yourself on hold and when they do contact you can still do the medical ect.

i was a dual candidate but i got lucky to get a medical date for the navy,but my cousin has just settled back into his job he had his heart set on it like yourself and was disgusted and very off for a while after ,but please god luck will be on yere sides to get a call to progress to the next stage.

good luck with the interviews and make sure to pad out the cv with the email remember you passed the defence forces interview so that looks good,it was my cousins friend that told him where he was on the panel unless you know someone in their that could ask for you.or you could give them a buzz but if it was me i would leave it until they contacted you.but best of luck and chin up ok

i would go with about a week supply this will give you time to settle in,so 1 bottle of everything should do i would imagine,i would bring an iron just incase they are short in the base better to be safe than sorry.

after a week you should be settled in and then you will have all the info on buying more stuff.

hope this helps

buy a shampoo and shower gel combination, one decent sized bottle of it. makes for quicker showers plus less to pack. micro fibre towels dry quickly and are quite cheap to buy in pennys or dunnes or tesco plus they pack up really small. bring a small one for shaving etc and possibly two big ones (but one should suffice). Ensure to put all cleaning gels etc in a plastic bag in case one of them opens in transit and f**ks up all of your clothes.

you need one medium size toothpaste tube and a toothbrush and enough razors to shave daily (i buy gellette sensor excel and get more than one shave out of each blade!)

dont forget the flipflops!!!!!!!!

Also keep a microfibre cloth or two to add to your cleaning kit for the rifle. can be used to wipe the heavy muck etc off it and to clean the lenses.

and no, accommodation is incredibly minimal, you wont get an iron! one or two per billet / one per room is plenty so double up if you can contact anyone else. if you have no ironing board you can place a towel flat on the floor and iron your uniform on that.

Gazoc90

For induction day, it says you can bring your parents/guardians. What should we wear for that day? Suit? Jeans and shirt?

Axelf0128

It says on my letter to wear suit or be neat dress shirt and slacks, me well I'm gonna wear a suit haha
