    As advertised during the week the Irish Defence Forces are recruiting in large numbers this year. The question I have is what are the stages of the recruitment process for general service from the time you submit your application what's the next stages? As I've been told a few different stories. Ideally a current member might be able to tell me as it's something I'm considering. (Please don't bother commenting unless it's positive. As I'm only looking for positive feedback on this matter cheers) :)

    Why don't some people have to do the pyschometric test twice?

    OK, have a son who has finished his LC this year and is now showing an interest in the military.
    have checked Military.ie but it appears the recruitment process has finished, is that correct?
