Hi Lady Vi
I think the reason they asked for photos of my tattoos was because they are on my upper arm and they wanted to see if they were visible in short sleeves. Tattoos are acceptable if they are non-sectarian/offensive or obscence and vague area regarding size.Just phoned and have passed vetting and I am on the merit list - I don't hold out much hope this time, but have role plays again next month so hears hoping -

Don't discount yourself just yet. There was a person from this board who had a merit pool number in the 700s who got called up for one of the last intakes there. You never know, you could get the call for the August one, so think positive!

Your score in the merit pool is personally identifying as well. Consensia monitor these boards, you shouldn't divulge your pool number for that reason.

It was worth the phone call then. Your success now lies with your background. I've hidden your merit number, may be better if you do to. That number is unique to you and easily identified by Consensia/PSNI who monitor these boards.

All the best.

doug-26, may need to amend your quoted post above as it has the specific merit number in it.

Phew, thanks for the info. When I got my tattoos they were purposely picked as tribal to have no meaning so there shouldn't be a problem. I really hope we hear something this week as if I get the call I wouldn't have to go to C14 AC on Monday. Just a straight yes or no would be good before next week I'm dreading the AC again.

Oh and MrsGeneHunt if we get in we'll have to celebrate with some Jimmy Choos! Daaaling.

alanbelfast

Hi

Nope, I have not went for campaign 14. If I don't get in from the previous campaign then that's me I'm afraid. Been working my butt off at the gym for my medical on Monday!
In good health but think reading over the forum and seeing how many people have failed med for small things has made me worry and I'm up to high dooh!
Iv had a private medical and all seems fine so have some back up reports in case they go to fail me. Usually if they do fail you ya need to go get such reports etc so I just thought I'd be one step ahead as I want in sooner rather than later.

O had my personal fitness trainer today - I can without doubt now confirm I hate him I hate him I hate him lol. Seriously I was put threw the paces today alright. So so so sore and after I completed it I had to go play a golf comp. Dreading tomorrow morning, I am sure I wont be able to get out of bed.
Nice hot bath on the run now mind you.............aaahhhhh

Got one more session on Sunday at 2. He had me sprinting then cycling then rowing then medicine ball then steps on this big box then onto boxing then back to sprints then squats then same again and again until the hour was up. I couldn't walk properly coming out of the place lol. But def looking forward to the results, It actually does get addictive to be honest.

HI guys,
Hope you are all well. I'm busting to hear something for C13 before Monday :eek:. I doubt I'll get my vetting and a phone call before then. Do they send a letter re vetting or just a call? Fingers crossed anyway. Just knowing I had the job would be great cos I'm still temping and would love a bit of security over the summer.

Hey there,

They dont let you know if your vetting is complete, people only know because they have phoned up to ask what point in the process they are at. They will tell you if your vetting is complete if you ask.

Someone had posted the number and extension you have to ring a few pages back if your interested.

MAKEPEACE

Technically then the next stage after medical is a yey or ney call ahhh! I've been waiting for a letter or something re vetting doh! I wonder if it is ok to call or would they be mad? I might call on my lunch.

MAKEPEACE, the girls in recruitment branch (I've only spoken to girls thus far) are all nice and have always been helpful. They will tell you if your vetting is ongoing (they can't divulge reasons for it not being completed) or if you have passed vetting. They will also advise of your merit score if you ask. But as I think you're already aware, the next you will hear is a phone call or a letter advising that they are ready to offer you a training place.

Recruitment branch: 02890 650222 Ext 24387

Good luck & let us know

I got the same information from JVB and he was spot on - very friendly at human resources. Good lucK
SFMCC

MAKEPEACE

Dont have my UID number I think I'll wait till tomorrow when I have that to hand. Normally my bag is coming down with letters but I just cleared it out the other day.

SFMCC

Hi All
I was speaking to a friend who applied the same time as me and is from the south originally. She did the medical in feb 08 and phoned yesterday and her vetting isn't complete. With places already being allocated does that mean she will lose out on this campaign. Or do they hold places subject to vetting. Any info appreciated.
Cheers

They didn't ask me for it, just your name and address.

If your friend has a high enough merit score and from down south (so RC I assume) his/her place will be held until vetting is secured. There is no 'cut off' for campaigns. All the best

MAKEPEACE

Hi Guys,
All good yippee! Although my merit score has moved from last time dont know if that is normal. Cheers for the advice. Would just love to get word now because this is really what I want to do.

lady_vi

Guys this is killing me. I'm just sittin by the phone hoping and praying for some good news. What a weekend we would have? Has anyone heard for sure when they are ringing? I'm too scared to ring about my vetting encase it's still ongoing. I'm just wondering how far back people have been waiting? My medical was last month and vetting shortly before that but seems people have been waiting even longer.

Guys I think I read on an earlier post that recruitment will advise successful candidates 6 weeks before the next draft, which is Sunday 3rd August. So 6 weeks prior to this is Fri 20 / Mon 23 June - which is next weekend :eek: Sorry to be the messenger of doom but I don't think the calls for August will be going out this week Any thoughts?

Yeah I had a thought it'd be next week but phone is still glued to me. It's even worse because I'm off this week with nothing to do. I need to get a life people! I'm getting myself all wound up, think I need to bann myself from these boards for a few weeks before I go nutty.

Just be pro-avtive in your approach, say something for psni to ban you. Call me a **** if you want. I'll take one for the team for you
Seriously though, you can't let it rule your life waiting around. I know it looks like I'm unemployed posting all day but I use my PC/Internet for work so this site is minimised all day

Well folks the long wait for some of us is over. Got phone call and I hope to see you all when you join me on 3rd August. Good luck to all of you waiting on phone calls.:):):):):)

Wish I was in your shoes! What a good weekend you will be having:D

lady_vi

I need to just claim down and breathe.I actually went quite insane there, got all over excited. This is what has happened to all the C13ers, we're loosing it (OK maybe just me).

Thanks for the offer JVB very supportive I have to say! That's the team spirit but it's OK I couldn't possibly call you a ******er. You've calmed me down now. Ha.

OMG CONGRATS TO THE PHONE CALL PEOPLE! I didn't get a call so had reasoned with myself that it would be another while. I'll not lie, I am insanely jealous right now but over the moon for yous. (Sniff sniff, suck it up Lady Vi)

alanbelfast

Hope yas get the call today peeps
