Has anyone had any experience with joining from the brits or know anyone that has?
I understand the title is a bit odd and vague since to my understanding there’s no lateral transfer available like there is from the British army to the Australian army for example, but does anyone know or had experience leaving the uk forces and coming across to the Defence forces ?
Genuinely curious as the more people I speak to day by day have morale issues with the way the British military involves themselves in foreign affairs after the disaster which was Afghanistan and the even more disastrous pull out thereafter, that paired with the freedom of information provided by the internet and its many sources of information has made quite a few soldiers quite disgruntled after realising some things don’t align entirely with why they’ve joined.
I recently spoke to a proud Welsh serving soldier who just threw out the idea that he’s toyed with the idea of joining the Irish army, is it this simple or do you think he’d run into complications regarding citizenship and not being part of the EU?
Thanks to anyone who can add to my question
