What does a compter system have to do with recruiting?

Where do you want to join up? Ring the nearest Manpower Office.

pms stands for "P"ersonnel "M"anagement "S"ection and yes it is also the main computer system for that section also

Personnel Management Section (PMS) is now known as Enlisted Personnel Manpower Office (EPMO)

They must have changed it after you put that "Ex" in your name

EDIT: in hindsight it is actually Enlisted Personnel Management Section I best change it now in the event of some smug b*stard (Like myself) coming back to haunt me.....but to those smug b*stards i'll just say this, it was Command Manpower when I rang them

sor recruiting is ongoing now in the army as the lads said contact the manpower section for the brigade your in.

Also remember the PT Test and your level of fitness should be at the required standard before applying so get training pronto.

Also your coming into the winter so it will be pretty hard is you enter a platoon in the next few months as the weather could be dire.

I would nearly prefer to do rec training in the winter. I was in a summer platoon and when we went on the ground the midgies everywhere it was head wrecking although I was one of the few lads that actually got a mossie net so I wasn't too bad some of the lads got eaten alive...
