    Also. Ha!....... GAAAYYYYYY!
    Here you apply to the Bde you want to join (South/East/Curragh/Naval Service/Air Corps).

    Sometimes they are trained by the Bde Trg Centre (but rarely). Generally a major unit in the Bde (Infantry Bn, Bde Arty Regt, 1 Armd Cav Sqn, 1 Mech Coy) is tasked with conducting the recruit training for a particular.

    Following recruit training, they complete their 2*-3* training (not 100% sure where this takes place).

    Afaik the way it works is that the individual gets to pick a unit to go to but numbers wise the unit conducting the training gets first call and then the remainder get divided up. But it depends on the demand at the time.

      Usually with unit they will be attached to if numbers permit.
      An army is power. Its entire purpose is to coerce others. This power can not be used carelessly or recklessly. This power can do great harm. We have seen more suffering than any man should ever see, and if there is going to be an end to it, it must be an end that justifies the cost. Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain

        Incorrect.Their is a centralised recruiting system now.You can be from Donegal and end up being trained in Cork it all depends,where you place on the list and when the next platoon starts.You can then be assigned anywhere within the Army depending on which unit is most understrength with priority given to the combat units. Their are more jackeen voices in Galway now than Connemara ones these days!
        2-3* is usually conducted by the same unit that conducts the recruit training but with a different training team. All the major units rotate through the training role and have BTC oversight at all times. BTC's conduct recruit and 2-3* usually when the intakes don't clash with scheduled POT NCO cse's.

His casualties are heavier, he suffers greater extremes of discomfort and fatigue than the other arms. Thirdly, the art of the infantryman is less stereotyped and far harder to acquire in modern war than that of any other arm." ------- Field Marshall Wavell, April 1945.

            Its a well known fact that Cav dont train- they just occur over a period of time, a bit like mould forming on bread or public lice forming on brassers growlers. However even david Attenborough said that he would prepare the public lice to the Cav.

            Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
            Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
            The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere***
            The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
            The best lack all conviction, while the worst
            Are full of passionate intensity.

                            From my recruit training experience it was never the ones who screamed that you needed to worry about.

                            It was the calm, calculating, meticulous ones who had the Machiavellian grin on their face as they thought about ways to ruin your day. They were the ones who's wrath you needed to avoid.

                                It is amazing how a platoon getting shouted out a lot (to help motivate them) switches off.... whisper is a few ears (no threats or anything just motivation) and watch them switch on
