  • THe problem here is the assumption by the recruiters here that there is a similar approach as to joining the PDF.
    The PDF GS recruiter can go back to a panel and it will still be ready to rock in most cases ;

    a RDF recruit panel will be tumbleweed city by comparison because some other interest will have turned up. This is just a fact.

    By far the largest retention indicator in the RDF is strong camaraderie and Esprit de Corps ;
    the quicker you put people into a billet and into a tough recruit training platoon the faster this will form .
    All of the system is squared against this happening at the moment.

    • That's frightening when you look at it lkke that.
      Just looking at it i realised i can name every member of the NSR from the rank of leading seaman up without any trouble just because numbers have dropped so much.

          Haha! Newly enlarged? Someone has been telling tales. Receuiting is still a snails pace. Nothing short of a 24 recruit platoon per unit is needed at a minimum. But the chances of that are zero so we'll just just do what we always do. Suck it up and get on with it.

            • Indeed. However, recruiting will or should open in a few days for all RDF units thats the theory anyway

                  • Not 100% sure what the story is but they are going to use references to speed up the s/clearance procedure

                      Don't see how this will speed it up myself, TBH.
                      The two pinch points are Garda security clearance and the paperwork passing through Formation HQ.
                      Previously mentioned on this forum that the Garda Vetting Unit can process clearances quite rapidly.
                      So why references (military) would make the process any faster, I'm not sure.

                      Especially if the paperwork is left sitting in someone's In Tray.
                      Am wondering why the approvals for attestation cannot be made digitally, with the hard copy paper form to follow afterwards.
                      This would ensure that is would be clearly visible whose approval/signoff is the gate to the potential recruit getting attested.
                      This system is used in my workplace. Online database for approvals, e.g. I need access to a particular door swipe.
                      I apply for access online, and the appropriate approver gets an email in his/her Inbox, with a link to go to the database and click the Approve button.

                          Because that would make sense, don't be coming out with that nonscense

                          No reason at all why it couldn't work apart from people moving/being away from appointments so often.

                          Don't know the ins and outs of it but I think it is 2 civvy references instead of something (not sure what)

                            It's not addressing where the real issue lies, with the PDF. Applications had been taking ten months to process, but Inquiries Were Made, and it turned out the Guards were only responsible for about a week of that delay.

                            • The Garda clearance part has always been blamed, but this has always been nonsense.
                              For now, everything hangs on implementation of the CoDF report.
