  • What the hell are we

    Alright some are calling us RDF, some are calling us FCA and some are calling us names I won't print here!!! :D

    But will someone please tell me have we changed over to RDF or is that just wishful thinking? Lets finish this once and for all

    As far as i know the RDF consists of an slua mhuiri and ourselfs the fca. so collectively we are the rdf but singularily (big word for me) we are the fca/sandbaggers/free clothes association/ weekend warriors/ fools carrying arms......need i go on!

        During a recent unit conference we were told to stop using the name FCA and use the new official name.... Cultaca an Airm (My Irish is very bad so excuse spelling if wrong) which is Army Reserve in english. All the official recruiting posters refer to us as the Reserve Forces and the Army Reserve in Particuliar. RDFRA should know but getting info from them can be like getting blood form a stone at times!

              All paper work is to be converted to the Army Reserve ASAP according to our CQ. The change is coming but its as usual taking its time

                The RDF does not include the Slua Muiri. They are the Naval Reserve something (can't remember right now). The FCA is becomming the RDF - when Mr Smith gets off his ass and signs the paper.

                  I have been informed that we are now the RDF (Reserve Defence Forces) which consist of the Army Reserve (Forsa Cultachta an Airm) and the Naval Reserve (I can hardly pronounce the irish let alone spell it).

                    I will investigate this further - I suppose I could be wrong.

                      we were always both! The FCA is the army element of the RDF while the slua is the naval element of the RDF, remember the RDFRA has been about since 93 and what does RDFRA stand for?

                        The Official word on the name change- From the RDFRA site.

                        "we would advise that the Steering Group Report was approved, in principle, by the Minister for Defence in mid-January. To-date he has not signed the appropriate regulation concerning the change of name but we understand this will happen very shortly."

                        The Coy signs in country areas in my battalion have had "FCA" removed form the sign and "RDF" painted in their place.

                        Basically it looks like we are not the FCA but not yet the Army Reserve.
