Whats it all about?

The Irish Army Reserve unit in Navan is opening its doors to potential new recruits tomorrow (Wednesday) October 7th 2015, in a move to showcase the opportunities as an infantry soldier with the Army Reserve.

The events are part of an extensive recruitment campaign taking place country wide to encourage new recruits to join the Army Reserve after the Government announced the lifting of a recruitment ban last year in the Reserve units of the Irish Defence Forces.

Navan's Reserve unit, E company, 27 Infantry Battalion, 2 Brigade, is just one of over 26 units from across the country who will be hosting open evenings and recruitment events throughout October to demonstrate to the public what the Army Reserve is all about.

As mentioned the event begins at 7pm Flower hill Navan.

You must be 18 years of age and under the age of 35 on the closing date for receipt of applications in order to join the RDF. There are exceptions to the upper age limit for those with certain specialist skills or previous military experience. - See more at: http://www.military.ie/reserve/faq/#sthash.V4GzGz3q.dpuf

I understand deaf people aren't allowed to join, I have a slight hearing loss, nothing too major. I was wondering what the rules are on this? Is there a certain decibel one must be over?

Morpheus

I dont know, theres a standard hearing test, you must be H1 whatever that is to join.

upon further online reading:

H1
- the member has the necessary auditory acuity to hear sounds of less than or equal to 30 dB in each ear in the 500 to 8000 Hz

Morpheus

That depends - on 2 things:
are you currently serving in the RDF and this was it annual fitness tests
or
are you a potential recruit and these were recruit fitness tests?

If you are a currently serving member, go through your chain of command.
