No need to be worried but if you have a scar make sure you write it on the form because she checks....that area...... for scars and your balls too.
Kaizer are you sure you didn't have this done?
Also to check for undescended testes. (ie. two occupants in your sac as opposed to your groin)
sorry for being crude ladies but they do make an issue of this for some reason.

Dr_MaSoN

its when she press's on the area below your belly button and ask's you to cough.

Brig, it could be the tuesday after the bank holiday, nobody knows for sure. It will probably be within the next two weeks, so keep an eye on your publicjobs inbox account:cool:

Are you bringing family with you on day1?

Lady Hawk

No, Just want to get on with it, meet people and get settled in. I dont want to have to look after the fam. I always said I'd go down on my own

Yeah you're probably right . I reckon it would just be a distraction.

Yeah everyones parents are a bit like that, telling everyone how you are going to make commissioner and solve all the countries crime problems single handedly because you have a flair for puzzles since you were 3. I can just imagine.........It's all just pride, but they can still be proud from home :D

Got a call yesterday from the Garda in my District that looks after background checks for applicants he asked weather I wanted to continue with my application and could I meet the Sgt this Monday. I only handed in my form b 3 weeks ago, would he know weather I had passed Stage2 or not or why did he ask if I wanted to continue? If I meet the Sgt this Monday do I still have to meet anyone else? He said I'll only be there for about 15mins, should I wear a suit? Thanks.

Best of luck to all the guys heading down on Tuesday.

It would be great if you keep posting what you can about how it matches up with what you expect it to be. Will make interesting reading for us going through the process.
