    Some Course dates for 2009

    Got these off the S/Bde Website today

    .... RDF Courses for 09 (Nov) - Reply to Bde HQ NLT 22 Jan 2009. Check Trg Calendar & in Unit for more

    Potential NCO Cse 25/7 - 7/8 South
    Standard NCO Cse TBA West
    PT Leaders Cse 20/7 - 31/7 West
    Platoon Sgts Cse 6/6 - 12/6 RDFTA
    Offrs Logs & Admin Cse (Mod1) TBA RDFTA

    Question I have is - What is a Pl Sgts Cse? I assume it is for training Sgts to be able to operate within an Infantry Platoon on the ground, something that the current Stds course does not.

      The pNCO dates are out to all units - that's all at the moment. It's planning time right now so expect more in a week or two

          Anyone know the qualifying criteria for the Pl Sgt's course - or do I have to go to my unit for that kind of thing?

          Strange that the PT Leaders course would be run away from DFPES. I have an email from BTC which says its a Pl Leaders course - who's right here?

            AFAIK the dates and locations for courses have been released by D Res but not yet signed off by D Trg. The info on the 1 S Bde website is not accurate. Enquire from your own unit for details.
            "Fellow-soldiers of the Irish Republican Army, I have just received a communication from Commandant Pearse calling on us to surrender and you will agree with me that this is the hardest task we have been called upon to perform during this eventful week, but we came into this fight for Irish Independence in obedience to the commands of our higher officers and now in obedience to their wishes we must surrender. I know you would, like myself, prefer to be with our comrades who have already fallen in the fight - we, too, should rather die in this glorious struggle than submit to the enemy." Volunteer Captain Patrick Holahan to 58 of his men at North Brunswick Street, the last group of the Four Courts Garrison to surrender, Sunday 30 April 1916.

              ATD 2009 states RDF PT Cse 20/7-31/7 in DFPES, I'll have a look tomorrow to see if it states how many places are on it.

                6 per formation, presumably ?

                    24 places

                    = 6 x 2 E Bde
                    = 6 x 1 S Bde
                    = 6 x 4 W Bde
                    = 6 x NSR

                    Am I missing anyone ???

                      it's 8 per Brigade, as usual the DFTC and NSR are left out, so if someone from one of those formations secures a place, one of the others loses out.
                      Odd way of doing it....

                        You joined when?

                        Or is there some other army I wasn't told about?

                        Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
                        Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?
                        Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?

                          Places are allotted as follows, 5 per Bde, 5 for DFTC and 4 for NSR.

                            Thanks Warlord, that makes more sense...
                            Of course, a PDF course would have to factor in the Air Corps aswell, thus probably
                            reducing the Bde allocations...
