Lads, best of luck to ye all, I sincerely mean that.

Some of ye, if ye do get in, need a serious attitude adjustment to come around to ''our way of thinking''. Dont worry though, yere training NCO's will help ye with that.

If it doesn't sink in for ye in recruit training, it doesn't matter, ye wont last long after that anyway and ye'll leave with a chip on yere shoulders and a bitter taste in yere mouths after a few years. But ye wont be the first. It takes some guys longer than others to figure out the army is not for them.

Get as much as you can out of the army in terms of qualifications. Its a really tough life for young soldiers in the Irish Army at the moment but if ye do stay to make a career out of it, enjoy it. It flies past.

One day you're a 17 year old leaving your home and family then a blink of an eye later and your an auld lad getting abuse off some redarse on boards.ie!!!

I personally wont be posting in this thread again.

Don't take anything negative said personally mate, there is a lot of tension among all of us, we all feel forgotten by the army and you can probably tell we all feel strongly about this. Hopefully it works out for all of anyway and thanks for the advise, regardless of how each individual has taken it

I was wondering whether the army would see that as subversive, kind of going behind their backs, it may affect our applications, if everyone's willing to take the risk I'll do it

Gents, you have nothing to worry about there, a FB group is a good idea and the DF would most definately not have a problem with it and it will not affect your applications.
