pockets or 2s and 3s,
no resupply,
moral is low,
MLCOA ignore the organisations problems for social media likes

Military neutrality is not a thing.
Ireland is not & has never been neutral.
Irish "neutrality" is absolutely questioned across the continent.
Non alignment does not equate to neutrality.

Discussion & conversation about this is always good

An extremely relevent point. We condemn one side & support the other. While having no ability to ensure we are not attacked, or respond if we are.
I guess ignorance & splitting neutrality to suit our incoherent notions isnt a good strategy afterall

@donlav @LeoVaradkar It's worse than that Don. We're taking sides in a conflict but with no means of deterring or effectively responding (or even detecting) to a hostile act. We know that NATO will only protect its members (ask Ukraine!) yet we poke the Russian bear without the backup of allies. 1/1

@ConorHogarty @Bentonra If ever a statement highlighted how truly ridiculous our policy of neutrality is then this is it - A clear statement of support for one side, an acknowledgement that it is necessary to use force but a refusal to contribute anything meaningful because of our ‘neutrality’ policy

What are the forms of military education that are not beneficial?

[Fantasia Forces @FantasiaForces]

@S63949629 @SITARMS @defenceforces In my experiences its complete luck if you happen to meet good quality leadership in the DF. It appears that its not taught or practiced widely at all

[Martin Ryan @Mairtin_81]

"Protection of rights" and excessive exemptions would be somewhat at odds with each other in terms of compliance with spirit of WTD, which remains @defenceforces best retention opportunity if done right. The DF remains the only state security service operating in breach of WTD

[Fantasia Forces @FantasiaForces]

@TonySul2020 @defenceforces @naval_service @IrishAirCorps I didnt even notice, thanks for the nod. Congrats to Lt Cdr Moloney.
Shame the DF wouldn't tailor a dress uniform for her speaking at a public even like this.

[RACO @RACO_DF]

Well done to @AGSI_Ireland for standing up for their members’ conditions of service today, in a dispute over rosters.

Contrast @gardainfo roster, agreed 10 yrs ago in compliance with WTD, with the @defenceforces, whose leadership continues to write a blank cheque with our time.

[Fantasia Forces @FantasiaForces]

Theres lots of leadership talk in schools east of the PO but startlingly little practice in the DF.
Many DF problems are beyond DF control, some are not.
If SnrRanks were interested, improvements could made.

Margins are for dancing

“Soldiers are motivated by a lot of different things but we can only control three of them: money, time off, and rewards.” Increase PDA, implement WTD, acknowledge and appreciate Efforts.

@CahirOB @naval_service @WomeninSTEM23 @defenceforces Overcoats, the most absorbant garment known to man...

[Fantasia Forces @FantasiaForces]

A wild prediction that in x years time when the DF has completely collapsed, theyll claim "but we implemented the CoDf reports findings" unfortunately to no avail... blame shifted & boxes ticked

[Conor Hogarty @ConorHogarty]

Appeasement will not make Putin halt attack on Ukraine, says Varadkar. The Taoiseach said, " The best thing we can do is build up our own defences, and that is set out in the Defence Commission plan." Well, Taoiseach, let's get going with the plan.

Another rock & a hard place.
Increased workload but also an earning opportunity.

It may slow the loss of staff but it wont stop it & will have little or no effect on recruitment.
