We seemed to have a good number of recruits in training on the square for our last parade night. Felt good. Mix of new intakes plus recruits going on FTT shortly. That's got to be something positive.

"In August 2017, the opportunity arose to attend a weeklong cyber security course - the International Cyber Security Summer School (ICSSS17) - run by the NATO NCI Agency in The Hague, Netherlands, along with partnering institutions such as Europol, the Dutch Defence Cyber Command, academic institutions and technology companies. I was the youngest participant of 60 international students on the programme, but could only do so in a civilian/student capacity as Reservists cannot yet travel overseas in an official capacity."
This says it all. Very interesting article though it seems that 'single force concept' doesn't stretch as far as giving specialist reservists the same training opportunities/supports as their PDF counterparts. It seems hard to justify this overseas ban on reservists especially as it applies to RDF specialists who presumably don't get exposure to much specialist training here in Ireland. I would imagine that the best cyber security courses don't take place here! I would have hoped that the RDFRA would have something to say about this , but i'm not holding my breath...

World class Cyber training not happening here?
The ban on reservists overseas doesn’t relate to training according to the Defence Act (obviously approvals required), the Acts don’t actually ban overseas (as in operational deployments) for RDF explicitly, it says PDF can go overseas.

But as you say practice is different .... with some exceptions
