    Wait till all interviews and medicals are done. Should find out if you're in or not around the time of the cao

    When are the final interviews? I didn’t think they would be taking people to medical when there’s interviews still running

    The wait until the offers come out is going to kill me haha. I wonder if many candidates have failed the medical. A lad I know in the PDF told me there's usually a 5-10% failure rate at the medical stage.

    Just had my Navy interview the other day confirmed that we will be hearing same time as Army. Best of luck to everyone and I hope we’ll all be seeing each other in the near future!

    Much appreciated! I think it went well and most definitely better than my army one. Did all I could honestly and now it’s out of my hands so just gotta wait and see.

    Did the Navy do their medicals before their interviews? I heard ones saying their medical during the assessment

    You probably will if you get accepted I’m assuming. They have dental requirements laid out in the terms and conditions

    If we get in. When is the final medical done before we actually start? As in does anyone know roughly how many weeks before we start does it happen?

    I’d assume the second medical would just be the dental upon induction for the Army because the Navy basically implied to us that we were all set if we get accepted.

    Just to add to this I remember them saying the first medical for army was bloods so you would have had the second medical already

    Did they not do reference checking this year? I know in past years they did but it was never asked of us from at our dental/interview for the navy.

    Why would anybody join the the defense force in Ireland, under payed, under trained unless you pay for it yourself, listen to the people who have left they have talked to Joe Duffy told them there concerns and you still want to join this defense force. If you want to join an army or navy at least join one with a career at the end of it and not depending on state hand outs.

    Also from what I hear there’s always a few who decline and then some who drop out early in training. They keep the panel open going into the first three weeks of training
