Joining a military in the EU other than your own...?

Question

Obviously, if you live in an EU country, you can take a job and live in another EU country freely, without restriction. If you speak the language fluently, does military jobs come under this also?

For example, if you're a British citizen could you join the Republic of Ireland's military, or if you were fluent in Spanish, could you join the Spanish Military?

Answer 1

no you hat to have lived in the country for a minimum of 4 years and then fill out a large form to explain your origins then they do a full background search to see if your trust worthy and then they decided whether to even accept your application

Answer 2

We don't have a military here in Ireland. .

Ireland is a Neutral country and not a member of NATO. We have a defence force which protect the state.  To answer you question can an other EU citizen join another EU army the answer is no. This is not in the EU treaty. Each EU memember is in charge of their own military. The previous answer is wrong about four years etc. That is not true.
