      Thinking further it seems quite a few NS SNCO's have done the BA in Leadership & Naval Studies and combined with the AC's who have done the Avionics in Carlow RTC it should not be surprising should the majority of Ceefors come from these cohorts on this occasion . Getting the gig for these candidates wont mean getting posted out as each of these services have only one base.

      Good luck to all concerned.

              Yes interviews were on recently
              "Are they trying to shoot down the other drone? "

              "No, they're trying to fly the tank"

                  On the subject of which, can anyone point out an armed force where it isn't an "officers army/navy/airforce etc?" Even the various peoples militias always seem to develop a hierarchy where everyone is equal but some are more definitely more equal than others.
                  As I understand it, the Swedes had no NCOs at all from the early Eighties until recently.

                    Not necessarily true. I can think of a NS NCO from a good few years ago, who on completing the Pot Offr Cse, was posted to the ARMY.
                    Topped out as a Comdt, I believe
                    "Well, stone me! We've had cocaine, bribery and Arsenal scoring two goals at home. But just when you thought there were truly no surprises left in football, Vinnie Jones turns out to be an international player!" (Jimmy Greaves)!"

                      @danno

                      See post 24, all personnel will be commissioned into “army or air corps army line”

                      Ludicrous situation!

                        I know one who went the other way. Was a Sgt in the Army, attached to the NS,( Maint Eng Coy I think). Did Pot Officer course, Ended up promoted to Naval officer. Moved from Naval base in Cork to NHQ in Dublin.
                        For now, everything hangs on implementation of the CoDF report.

                          will they have to change contracts ..ie pension etc to modern terms which are not as good as before for officers..
