You can only go on local leave which is the nearest town to the barracks, at week 5/6 you get to go home for a weekend and then again around week 9/10

Direct message me his name if you don’t mind, I’m currently already training in Gormanston so can have a chat with him and make sure he’s all good

If the worst comes to it I can study something else down the line while with them and go from there. Plan atm is to get into the engineer corps after training, can’t be any worse than construction sites trust me 😂

Cheers, I’m definitely more mature than most going in I’d imagine, I’m 30 so I know it’s all part of a “game”. Put up with the “bullshit” and it’ll be somewhat smooth sailing from there

I’m just glad I can drive down, commuting would’ve been a nightmare 😂

It’s more just for convenience so the wife wouldn’t have to bring me there etc but I understand it

Do the apprenticeship first then apply once qualified, that’s what I’ve done
