I am just wondering if there is any detail available on the syllabus for Army Reserve recruit training. I haven't been able to find anything online or the site here.
I'm interested in how it compares to PDF training and how the process of moving from recruit to private 2* and then private 3* is condensed.
The detail is hardly unavailable due to security reasons?
I'm obviously no mod but I can imagine why the details of which aren't available on the internet, according to the DF there's probably more than they want already out there.
You'd be far better finding someone who is or has been involved in recruit training and having a good chat with them about it!
There no doubt is a lot of detail out there already. I just don't know where to find it! I guess I'll just have to trawl through threads on here and possibly boards.ie.
Cant discuss exactly what we do in the Defence Forces, but one would imagine that you will most likely cover some theory and some practical of each of these sections in any nations army - and a diet version for reservists.
hope this helps
"He is an enemy officer taken in battle and entitled to fair treatment."
"No, sir. He's a sergeant, and they don't deserve no respect at all, sir. I should know. They're cunning and artful, if they're any good. I wouldn't mind if he was an officer, sir. But sergeants are clever."

Thanks very much for the above. I'm certainly going to have a read. You wouldn't happen to know if the training structure is similar to British Army Reserve training? There is quite a bit of detail about that online.
I would surmise that it's similar but less lengthy and intensive, as (sad to say) our reserve is really a Diet Reserve or a Reserve Lite.

I suspect that there is good scope for training to move more in line with PDF standards rather than the current "Lite" version, however there no existing legislative support to facilitate this. - Job Security etc.
Scheduled fun will commence at 1900Hrs.
Punishment beatings will continue until moral improves.

Can you get min 6 months off work just to get to 3* ?

I don't mean this to be disrespectful but it is not even remotely comparable to what Recruits in the PDF go through, both in terms of tempo and the subjects covered.

No one is suggesting that the content is exactly the same, they are interchangeable or that the tempo is the same.
However, all the lessons in RDF syllabus are in the PDF one (there is a lot more lessons in the PDF syllabus yes but one is based on the other)
More importantly aulsod will you be able to give 5-10 days of your annual leave every year for the forseeable future plus a couple of hours a week and the odd weekend? If you can't don't bother!
