    Do the guys from RDF regularly qualify for these sorts of things btw?

      Only 2 Bde Cav Sqn do the EoH, so only their members (PDF & RDF) do it.

      There’s at 3 or 4 RDF guys have done the 6 week course.... if your trained and available

      • Great course. Tough test.
        I did it about ten years ago, three students tested at a time. First half was slow speed control on the Square in the Brugha. Cones, driving onto a plank etc. The more you practice the better you get at it. The deauville is ideal for this, unfortunately you won't get a Deauville for the test. Pass/fail test. Fail here and you can get changed and head home. Stage 2 is on the road that afternoon. My test leg was Brugha to Blessington. Next student had Blessington to Naas. Last one was Naas to Rathmines, avoiding the Naas road of course.
        For now, everything hangs on implementation of the CoDF report.

                    There are upwards of 9 RDF lads who have the DR course done and also the extra EOH training completed and would regularly be asked to fill in numbers when 2 Cav PDF cant
