    think the whole recruitment process is badly organised from start to finish, my son has received a date for medical in Cork, was told it would be used for both army/navy. Today then he got a vague email from army that he's on a panel pending government funding. He doesn't know what to do & has decided not to pursue the Navy and will hold out for an offer from the army, will this ever happen????!


  • Registered Users Posts: 15 Ecork23


    Is that the panel 2015 subject to Government approval?


  • Registered Users Posts: 24 TommyGuilfoyle


    Got this email at 11pm:

    Dear Thomas,

    Further to your recent application for the 2014 General Enlistment in the Naval Service, the Army will carry out your medical.

    On successful completion of the medical this office will contact you to provide you with a date to meet the Medical Officer Naval Service.

    We appreciate your patience until the Army Recruitment Office contacts you.

    IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE:

    Should you fail to report for you medical at your allotted time (provided by the Army), it will be presumed that you are not interested in pursuing a career in the DEFENCE FORCES, and your name will be removed from the competition.

    THIS LETTER IS NOT TO BE INTERPRETED AS A JOB OFFER

    Yours sincerely,

    Naval Service Recruitment Office

    Would you not think that would mean he is out. The retest was a waste of time then.

    Definitely wouldn't be allowed, the whole numerical reasoning part of the test is pretty much times tables!!
