What would be the best location in the Republic for recruit training ? The Curragh would get my vote.

please give your reasons

If Bere Island is to remain in use, updating the facilities and adding more accomadation is a must. Another welcome addition would be decent class room spaces that could cater for the numbers attending.

How does RDF recruit training compare?

RDF say 2/3 weekends + 2 weeks

PDF 16 weeks (I know the PDF cover a lot of what is in RDF recruit training but ...)

Australian Reserve - 28 days (can be done in 1 / 2 modules + 2 to 7 weeks trade training)

Canadian Reserve - 20 days

New Zealand Reserve - 3 days + 3 weeks + 3 weeks

UK Territorial Army - 9 wkends + 2 weeks

Don't the Canadians still do national service?

As usual Big Al lets his prejudices show .

62nd were given a job to do and a place to do it in , choice wasn't a strong point.

Where were the other unit's NCOs ? [ those of you who did come, thanks ]

I was detailed not asked to leave my units annual camp and go to dundalk to train recruits from a different bn. There was 2 65bn cpls and a 63nd bn officer and sgt to train a plt of 67bn rec. id like to know where the 67 ncos were. I know it is nearly 2 years after the fact but im only new to this and have just found the forum
