    ye my navy test is in the currgah so i dont know if its for the two of them or just the navy ??

    Na it won't be for the two of them, definitely not. They can't do the tests on the same day because it doesn't give a fair chance. Give the army an e-mail and ask what the story is!

    Yes, hopefully we'll get the medicals done in the next week or two.

    I'd love to get started as soon as possible.

    Has anybody heard anything about where the platoons are going to be trained?

    Ye it would be great to get in early.

    They said we should get a date for the medical by next Friday if everything is fine with the tests we did in the Curragh.

    i hope so anyway... Its awkward if you have applied for both and the Navy comes up that u need to turn the Navy down and take the risk hoping that the Army will offer

    I had the same in the curragh last week for the army but still didn't hear anything back. We were told wait until Tuesday and if you don't hear anything by then. Drop them an e-mail. Hope this helps

    My son has medical Tuesday week in Cork, looks like for the navy, also applied for army. Was told medical will stand for both but received email today to say he's been put on a panel for the army, pending sanction from government to fund more recruits. He really wants the army so thinking of pulling out of the medical...is this wise, did anyone else get panelled, will recruits ever get picked from the panel??

    I am waiting for a call from the army but heard nothing yet. To my knowledge there is more recruiting for 2015 so he will prob be called then. When did he get the e-mail??

    got it this afternoon, all confused as the navy in Cork said the medical was for both, think though with the email today he's no longer in the running for the army. Pity they don't give more info, if it's likely you'll get called or not next year, specially as these decisions are life changing!

    I know, my advice would be take the navy if that's what he wants to do. If the army don't call him he will regret not taking it for the rest of his life. Big gamble if he doesn't take it. But the other side of it is what's for you won't pass you! Tough decision but at least he has the decision to make.

    To the guy who going to take the navy instead of army but really wants the army, how the Panal works is in 2012 when they recruited last time the also had a Panal and the hole Panal was used in 2013 do they didn't need to recruit last year as they were able to use the Panal and the same process this year, I wouldn't rush into accepting navy if he wants army because once you accept your off the list, if you decided he wanted to the army after he joins it could be a lot more difficult to get in, the army has already picked there recruits but all them must pass medical to proceed and anyone who fails the turn to the Panal then to make up the numbers, also balindonel air core use the Panal that the curragh have and to my knollege there taking 40 people from the Panal for there recruitment this year aswel so it's not dead in the water so to speak hope this helps
