I am no expert on this but from what I have heard, the quality of Irish enlisted personell is quite high.
Do any of you think that this is because of the enlistment application system?
Other nations have recruiting sergeants that seem to do alot of the work. A potential recruit drops into a recruit office and the recruiting sergeant brings them through the process there, he decides if the potential recruit is suitable, etc.
Here in Ireland for the PDF, the recruit applies and is called to an interview panel. From what I know the process is over subscribed and the panel can be more selective.
Unfortunately, some other nations forces do not have that luxury and are obliged to take people without as much of the formal process that is required as here.
Would this be a fair approximation of the processes.
And, does the PDF's ability, if any, to be more picky about recruits it can accept lead to a better quality of enlisted personell in the PDF?
Cheers womble.
