Throwing a question out to the community here but it's something I've always wondered.
Everyone here knows all about the usual DF commissioning sources but it is common worldwide for nations to send their officers elsewhere for officer training. Just look at the Maltese cadets in the cadet school.
I'm sure it's highly unlikely that Irish officers have commissioned out of a British source (unless the NS sent someone to BRNC?). I'm more think the US service academies as they take on a large number of foreign cadets from all over the world every year.
My question relates to a complete or near complete commissioning course elsewhere. Not an short exchange or post commissioning course with the RN like the NS used to do.
