How do you get into the ARW?

From the website:

"To get into the valorous Army Ranger Wing, you need to complete basic training, as well as possess Leaving Cert French (C3 minimum) and 2 years relevent experience in an Anti-Terrorist organisation, or Order of Malta service."

Tut-tut, discus, for some reason you omitted to mention that five years' continuous service in the Legion of Mary National Clog-dancing team would count as one-year contribution towards a three-year tour in 2REP, which would absolve you of having to undergo the first three weeks of ARW training.

Hmmmm.....

Five years in the LoM -v- one in 2REP?.........you'll be left a brainwashed, hollowed out shell of a man......



however, option B will leave with competency in French!

This is the problem with you guys, yous are just spouting **** and now OP is probably confused :mad:

The Frech Foreign Legion have absorbed the Legion of Mary since 2012, they now have the French Foreign Legion of Mary, which has replaced the since disbanded 19DBLE. You can only serve in them with 4 years as an altar boy at a Carmelite or Francisan Diocese.

Unless you guys pull yourselves together I'll be reporting posts :mad:

You can't just 'apply' for the selection course. The ARW will seek out people and invite them. This is done once a year, when 2 men in sunglasses visit your unit clerk and hand them an envelope with your name on it. Once you have been handed the envelope you have 24 hours to get to the Curragh with full kit, although ou must run the last 700m in the time honoured tradition of Pascal '700m' Shaughnessy, the first irish ARW member, who liked to sprint 700m with 2 left boots on and a belt tied over his eyes. You will be provided the belts within the envelope the clerks give you.

You need to have the underwater knife fighting course done first.
