Why join the boring Irish Army and piss about boring Irish Army Barracks in cold wet Ireland. The best you can hope for is some boring peace-keeping duties somewhere equally boring.
You can join a NATO army instead. Much more interesting. You get better pay, frequent postings abroad. You go to exotic places.

You meet interesting people who you get to kill.
