    The whole reason we are waiting for the response from the army is because of the budget reasons and waiting for the go ahead from the govt. the govt are takin on navy recruits and now instrumentalists for the army at the moment, surely the money is there to finish this competition and stop starting new ones and leaving us here waiting

    24th March 2015

    As the Permanent Defence Force is currently below the agreed stabilised strength of 9,500, it is intended that targeted recruitment will continue in 2015, from the recruitment panels formed from the current General Service recruitment competition, launched in March 2014. It is planned that these panels will remain in place until they are exhausted. It is too early to say when this recruitment will commence, as this is dependent on the operational requirements of the Defence Forces and the budget allocation for Defence.An additional Naval Service recruitment campaign is under way for 2015.


    Same ****, we still have a bit of a waiting to do yet :/

    Just found out that 1,200 applied, which is not too bad given that a lot won't even turn up for the fitness test.

    And some of them will fail the fitness test as we don't have much time to get ready. Hope to make it to the end of the process. Do you have any idea when the training will start ? A bit early to ask it but I would like to have an idea.

    april 12 is this saturday? they will never announce that over a weekend, makes no sense restrarting, doesnt add up .. they have a group already trialled and interviewed ready to go, them lads no more want to go through all that again and waste money that they dont have. All this speculation is about the panel getting the call.
