From RDF to PDF

[SargentTom]

Hello all,

What i mean is, is it like if im in the RDF for a year or two & then decide to go full time at the age of 26, would the army make an exception because i would be in the RDF already?

Well,officially;
''The upper age limit for enlistment in the Army /Air Corps is 25 years of age on the date of enlistment.''
So go for it!

Oh yes,the Navy upper age limit is 27..

Full time reservists are something that has not happened since the early 1980s. You don't "decide" to go full time.

However I think what you may be trying to ask is, Is there an extension to the upper age limit for PDF recruits if the potential recruit is a member of the RDF?

Ah the Full Time FCA, Happy Days. 1979, the Leaving Cert passed and duties in the Silvermines once a week with a day and a half to rest off. I should have stayed at it and come in direct as a Sergeant in 1989 instead of sweating my bollocks off doing things the right way.
