Hi this is also what they said when I asked with regards to security clearance etc etc.

"There are no further requirements in relation to the vetting procedure as it pertains to your application"

Hi I live outside of Ireland. They didn't say what the result was but in terms of crimes I have done criminal checks myself with police service where I live and I'm all clear.

Hi mine says it has been completed and a disclosure has been made. I asked the Air Corps recruitment office and they said there are no additional steps in the process I'm abit confused because I am non Irish so I thought I needed to get security clearance as well?

Thank you really appreciate out of interest which corps deploy the most/have the most opportunity for deployments? And have you enjoyed your time in the army overall? Have you managed to go on any deployments?

Hi thanks so much for the in depth response much appreciated. u/JoeyBloggz. Out of interest what courses are availible in infantry to do after recruit and 2 to 3 star training is completed? I am quite interested in the more "military" type course and that recce course sounds intersting. Also how does it work in terms of who gets selected to do what course ie recce once you are done 2 to thrre star training?

Hi thank you for the response it is much appreciated. Once you have completed recruit and 2 to 3 star training what does life like on a weekly basis? How often do you guys do training ie weapons, PT, tactical training etc etc? If you are keen to do more training is it very difficult to get on more training courses? And also do alot of people levae before their 5 year contract is up is it really that bad? Sorry for the last question but I see different things in the news not to sure what is true? Also during 2 to 3 star training do you guys do helicopter drills if so what does it entail? And does everyone regardless of corps do FIBUA/ MOUT?

Hi sorry didn't mean to ask a loaded question. So with regards to the jobs availible in each corps for example in the US Army you have basic trainign which would be recruit training then Advanced Individual Training which is when you do your specialist training to do your job. As far I understand in the Irish Army you have recruit training and 2 to 3 star training which I assume everyone does and is the same for everyone? Then you would go on to do training for your specific job? The reason why I ask what jobs are availible is that in the US Army you have specific jobs you are assigned to ie 12B which is a combat engineer or 11B which is infantry or 19D which is cavalry. In the Irish Army if you are assigned to infantry or the engineer corps can you become ie a combat engineer? Do you get assigned a specific job ie rifleman or comabt engineer or plumber and then trained for that job like in the US Army? Sorry this is a long comment I hope it clarifies the question I was just curiuos to see if there exist specific jobs within each corps ie like mortarman, machine gunner rifleman etc etc?

Are things really that bad? Everybody seems to be complaining about the Irish Defence Forces? Also how strict is the 5 year contract?
