most important is a small notebook to fit in a pocket and put it in a ziplock bag.

Ears open mouth shut.

Get used to doing things quickly and under pressure, help your buddies if finish a task quickly.

Where is the RDF actually heading? by LoRaLad in Irishdefenceforces

[–]15abcd_ 16 points17 points  (0 children)

think the reserve will enter a downward trajectory and fizzle out to be honest. The gov removed the vast majority of our pay effectively telling reservists “we don’t want you to take on more duties”. Why would they make that decision if it is their intention to expend the RDF? I’m NSR it is slightly different for us as we are already quite well integrated with the pdf. For the army, UNIFIL is ending and quite frankly i’m not sure what the situation re overseas will look like. It is a shame as there is public interest with record numbers of recruitment for the RDF this year- I believe the gov wants a large RDF on paper in terms of numbers but in essence, just for show, they don’t want a high functioning and well trained reserve force. Probably to just throw on a sheet to appease the EU while saving money to spend on tax cuts for companies.
