Im applying this year for the second time. I think it usually starts around mid to end of january!

Also does anyone know when the next stage of the recruitment process will begin after the applications are sent in (roughly)?

Is it the start of march or april?

You can print the form off the DF website as far as I know. If not then just send off and they will gladly send you one.

Oh military.ie might not be working bacuse they are currently making a new one due to come online in a few weeks as far as I know.

Yep, they are comissioned as Full Lts like their army equivilents, but still have to do their 22 month (min) cadetship unlike the army who now only do 15 months.

Hi 'pilot_smiley' ...
I am in 6th year and im (constantly) looking for new info and tips on Cadetships..
Does anyone have any idea or advice on whether its better to have a degree when applying for the Cadetships for A.C. or do they prefer you to be straight out of school?
Which would be better,Arts(geog/history)Degree or Science(biology)Degree??
Any Advice will be much appreciated....
Cheers..

Hi all
For those of you still in school, go to your Careers Guidance person and get them to organise a visit from an Air Corps Officer to your school.All it takes is phone-calls.If that doesn't work, then get on to Baldonnel and make contact with the PR people and make your request.I'd imagine they are getting plenty of inquiries, so make a little effort.Get your questions ready, so that it doesn't come out as a stream of nonsense.Most people are quite obliging, when it comes to giving career advice.They just don't want to be bugged by wasters or the obviously unprepared.
regards
GttC

Jesus!! You won' t have to worry about getting it if you fill out your application form like that. Maybe a career as a rapper would suit you better

Well ive sent my application...
Anyone else apply yet?Any other school leavers applying..?
12 years of your life sounds like a lot and it is,but if youre applying for it you obviously think that those 12 years will be the best if its the career you really want..To get a cadetship you need to truly want it and shine above the rest!!!
