I've always been curious about the cadets? what exactly is the difference between the cadets and just the normal army. I wish you all the best of luck who are going for it and who have got notified about next stage. I'm interested in applying for it too maybe next year or whenever. I'm in 3rd year doing ag science in dublin but i've always had the army at the back of my mind, es it make much of a difference if you apply during your degree or when you're finished? What exactly has the cadets to offer?
Also what's the interview like? Sorry if I'm asking a lot of questions but i think asking people who have been n the situation the best way to understand on what to expect and all.

It's all the same army, the difference is with general enlistment you enlist as a recruit and get commissioned as a 2 star private, while with the cadetships you enlist as a cadet and get commissioned as an officer (lieutenant with a degree or second lieutenant without a degree).

If you want to read more about what the army does, check out www.military.ie.

A two star private is going to be getting commissioned nothing.... Commissions are for hofficers only...

[thenameisjohn]

how many are they recruiting this year by the way?

Sorry didn't know what other way to say it.

Remember folks, the people who will be assessing you, maybe even training you if you are lucky, read this thread.
They will make fun of those of you who have been spoofing on the internet, trust me.

[mrmanire]

Lord if I know?

Ranked?

[goldie fish]

Recruits are promoted to 2 star private.
Cadets receive a commission from the president.
Thats why they get paid twice as much.

[Maybe_Memories]

Should I have gotten the email by now?

And here is me thinking that all officers are spoofers and the NCOs run the army....

Can anyone confirm if you applied for both the army and air corps cadetships, do you have to do the different stages twice?

Yes, the competition for the Army and Air Corps cadetships are separate.

That means two separate fitness tests and two separate psychometric tests.

Stage 1 of the Army cadetship competition is the psychometric testing...

Stage 1 of the Air Corps cadetship competition is the fitness test.

[Letsdoit]

When should the fitness test for the army cadets?

Hi guys,

Anyone else apply for the Air Corp and not got an email?
