    Be advised that there is an upper age limit to joining the RDF and it takes 4 years to achieve a suitable watchkeeping ticket. Can you point me towards the link where it says that? I thought the only DE accepted were engineer officers, and that was in the Naval Service, not Reserve.
    Defence Forces personnel lead a "Life less Ordinary". All aspects of military life are varied and for each member of the Force each day may bring a new challenge.

      Thank you.
      How things have changed. I know 2 people with motor and deck tickets who considered transferring from RDF but were left in no doubt that they would have to follow the standard recruitment pattern.

I'm curious about the specialist officers section of the DF website under navy reserve it says if you are a bridge watchkeeper in the MN you are elegible for direct reserve commission is this still in effect (was thinking of going into the merchant navy then joining NSR in a few years)
        At present there are 2 specialist merchant seamen with there with Bridge Watchkeeper Certs and have been in the NSR at least 10 years and have been selected for the next P/officer course NSR. This course will take about 2 years to complete. There is present a Doctor with diving medical qualifications that has been taken into the NSR in the last year. Maybe this is the only skilled person can be taken in the RDF (NSR) under this regulation. A bit of advice, if interested still in joining the NSR be careful about your age I think 35 is the max age limit. You can serve in the NSR while still working Deep sea.
