Stop that!
Yesterday.
Dublin Castle, Dublin 2
Demob happy celebrations following the Commissioning Ceremony of 67 new Irish Army officers, 18 Air Corps Officers and 6 Maltese Officers in the Printworks.
Meanwhile…
Aw.
Maltese Officers (from left) Aaron Zammit and Neil Spiteri propose to (from left) Amy Zammit and Nadesh Barbara at the end of the Commissioning Ceremony. They were among six Maltese recruits who had trained at the Cadet School in the Curragh.

Is “Dr” Tom “Lexus” Clonan canvassing this group yet for the TCD Panelbeaters seat?
Oh right – they don’t have votes …
That first pic is lovely :)
She has a lovely smile!
It’s gardai needed not soldiers
entering a service where they’ll be not enough troops to command, bravo blushirts
Maltese officers? Whats the story there?
Malta is too small to have a decent training system so we train their officers, have done since 2011 or so. We also gave them a ship a few years ago to help in the Med crisis.
strange since there would be more historic link between the UK and Malta.
” Overseas training for Officer Cadets is conducted in prestigious and renowned military academies, including the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst (UK), Britannia Royal Naval College, Dartmouth (UK), Irish Defence Force Academy (Ireland) and Italian Naval Academy, Livorno (Italy). ”

thr curragh is hardly sandhurst
My nephew from Dublin was. Accepted
And it’s pretty world renowned
Much like West Point creme del a creme
I would guess its a small country / neutral country thing. Not sure if they used to train with another country before.
Anyways here’s an interesting video about Malta in WW2 to make you claustrophobic..

Otherwise we’d make them cross.
You win a falcon!
Easer’ up there Pulu

The best thing about living in Switzerland?
Well, the flag is a big plus.
:)
Interesting, thanks.
So these lucky cadets will receive 20euro on top of their dole.
Not cadets – officers.
Now you’ve got me singin’ it….
Cadet, orange cadet, orange cadet, orange cadet, cola cadet, cola cadet, cola cadet, cadet lemonaaaaade!

Did Aaron Zammit propose to Amy Zammit?
I’m sure they will instill fear into any enemy soldiers they may encounter with all of that huggery.
Surely “demob” is when they LEAVE the service?
It is true
Evidently it shows how we perceive an army
No doubt they will protect the any infringements to the States Sovereignty by
Venture Capital Funds buying up housing stock and US Military stopovers at
Shannon, you would not get away with it in Switzerland would you, indeed what
we need here is the Swiss Military model and less of the “Officer Class”
On soldiers “hugging it out” Arent you just a bunch of hired killers ?
And i quote.
“Here’s how I feel about gays in the military: Anyone… dumb enough… to want to be in the military… should be allowed in. End of fucking story. That should be the only requirement. I don’t care how many push-ups you can do – put on a helmet, go wait in that fox hole. We’ll tell you when we need you to kill somebody. I’ve been watching all these Congressional hearings and all these military guys and all the pundits going, “The esprit de corps will be affected, and we are such a moral…” Excuse me, but aren’t you all a bunch of fucking hired killers? Shut up! You are thugs, and when we need you to go blow the fuck out of a nation of little brown people, we’ll let you know.”
