That explains the dark sea king flying over my head in Ballsbridge at 8.40 this morning. Lovely.

I appreciate that operational matters can not be disscused on this forum but apart from base security, are there any other regular duties that you could vaguely outline. I understand that apart from the CASA crew's who fly the most hours by virtue of their patrol lengths, that 200hrs per anum is the average.

325 working days and 200hrs = 37mins flying per day as a very crude average

As it's a 12 year deal I'd like as much info as I can scrape together, thanks folks.

As far as I'm aware the age limit is 23, rising to 25 in the year of application if you have a degree. I think they're pretty strict about it.

Thanks for the offer of help, I'm sure I'll have a few questions on the way.

Just want to know are there any other "Lurkers" out there who are applying this year?

Just got my degree and this is my first time applying.

Lude, were the aptitude tests much different to those sample ones given on military.ie? Were there any more physics based ones?

good luck and cheers

I am mistaken most probably, but I was just playing football in Ringsend, looked up and saw grey prop driven aircraft at low level with straight-edged wing tips and could've sworn I saw a roundel.

Are the new PC-9s here?

'twas that very mound of earth that I was on, beyond it all you have to do is walk 50m and you'll be at the fence with an excellent view of the runway... just gotta avoid the rent a cops.

Went down to Casement today just to have a general snoop around and try to snap any action with my camera. Any idea on where the best place around the fence where one can steal some good shots?

I found a good place by the enterance to Baldonnell buisness park but the park security moved me on because they thought I might slip and then sue SIAC. They thought I was a journalist looking for any US planes or possibly a protester. I'm just a fan of the Corps looking to try and take some personal photos/watch some action. Saw the GASU 135 come in which looked great and sounded even better.

Any spots would be apprecaited,
