  • Good to see a member of the General Staff with a decent clatter of medals
    Congratulations sir

    As an aside, I see Col McKenna's previous appointment was D Inf - the previous holder of D Inf wasn't that long in that appointment, was he?

      I think the previous D Inf is now the CMC or is possibly overseas. That appointment changes probably every 12-18 months

        • I never knew we had an SEA .... still a vacant post in the RDF . If we had to change anything I would match the number of BSMs to the Lt Cols to ensure things happened.

            Which would mean he is triple jobbing

              • Long overdue. I may be wrong but I think she was in the fourth cadet class to accept women, the first two being all female.
                Its not that long ago, in the scheme of things.
                For now, everything hangs on implementation of the CoDF report.

                  • Impressive CV from the new ACOS
                    An army is power. Its entire purpose is to coerce others. This power can not be used carelessly or recklessly. This power can do great harm. We have seen more suffering than any man should ever see, and if there is going to be an end to it, it must be an end that justifies the cost. Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain

                      As shown by his medal ribbons... but I agree, having read the article

                      • I'm just shocked that the 59th Cadet class are now Generals. I'm not that old surely?
                        This was the same class the members of whom were seen getting their pips in the Infamous Defence Forces handbook of the mid 80s (in the days before internet, this and the cosantoir diary was the only information source on the Defence Forces).
