Ha ha ha. Baby + Hangover = Hell on Earth

Note to self go to Foyleside order SKY+ (free til end of month too) from your doll outside Fosters and stick the sprog in front of the CBeebies on Sunday in future...It won't harm their development....hardly at all....

I am nervous as hell. Judging by the fact I have my med tomorrow I am reasonably well up the list. Me and the other half were talking last night about it, and my going to GV, we are just in a relationship (well a year but its a long story) and now it sounds as if i'll be going up (subject to med and vetting). Talking about training, shifts, how our kids will be, PPW's, dissident activity, etc starts to really hit home.

Hi there I am not sure, but I can imagine you will really have to be high up the list, proabably in the top 300 for a non RC.

Lets face it, there are A LOT of repeat applicants, therefore the standard is high (presumably because of all the practice they get going through these campaigns). My pal was early 200's (RC background) and she got in for April/May. But she knows of RC's currently there who are mid to high 700's.

50/50 must make it frustrating for those not getting in with reasonably low merit (ie 300+) scores. But that is another discussion completely.

Good luck to all tomorrow. Hope to see you all soon in GV.....

How the feck am I gonna sleep tonight, and I have my medical tomorrow, can just imagine my ECG and blood pressure being fantastic (although it was 110/70 on Friday, my doctor said I was as cool as a cucumber).....

One sheep, two sheep, three sheep.......ARGH!

Non RCs 300 and below then guys it looks like...anyone know of non rcs with higher than this making the cut???

MrsGeneHunt

I'd say 350 would be the absolute maximum for non rc.

I am totally totally bricking this phone call tomorrow.
I've had Vetting but I have no idea if this means anything, I know people have phoned Recruitment and Vetting and been told it only went out to the high scorers thus far but even so.

My stomach is in knots...

I know how you feel.....

Am dying for a small drink to aid the forthcoming night of nervousness....But as the medical is tomorrow.....I wouldn't want to produce a "wee" sample that could be alcoholic....grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

I cant wait to get it over with, it's been all I've thought of all weekend!
I'm just about to go out to work and i'm glad of something to take my mind off it!
I'm an RC background and i've had my Medical and Vetting and i know that looks quite promising, but i'm gonna be really annoyed if my merit is above 440.
I hate when people i speak to say, 'Oh, your a catholic, you'll get in no bother' and i'd hate to spend the next 30 years listening to that!!

Ditto I want to be 440 or less. I want to get in on my own steam.

me to Mrs GH, I'll tell you why i am bricking it so much, because there are people on here who I have sent-received pms with and they had their assess centres etc well after us and they have medical dates already, not sure what that means but!

A mate of mine got 300-350 in C13 and is now in training and hes a non RC, so its possible, just takes time!

To be sure people get in on 'their own steam' the 50/50 rule should be scrapped.

carlty888

Guys, the 50:50 is gonna be here for a year or two yet. We know the playing field when we first apply, so nobody can complain about getting screwed over by it.

As a non-RC, I applied for one of 220 non-RC places. I'm competing against other non-RC's. It's the same for someone with an RC background. In that sense we all get in under our own steam.

Sadie OOO!!!

well said carlty. the reason this 50/50 was introduced was to try and create a force thats recognised by all aspects of the community.

Sadie OOO!!!

i think the 50:50 is here till 2011. there trying to get numbers up to 35% catholic which is still under represented in the psni. but its the way forward. end of. sorry

carlty888

While I understand and support the need for the 50:50, I can also appreciate why so many people would want to see it scrapped. Regrettably it's an unfortunate necessity.

This country needs a representative police force. It's just a shame that so many people are getting bullied out of helping to provide it.

I knew when i typed that message it would be Controversial, but every one is allowed their opinion.

I knew the process before i started FACT
Its going to be here a few more years FACT
I wont complain about it if i get a dear John letter FACT
The 50% RC 50% other process is discrimination FACT

Again i would like to state im not trying to start a row.

we can all say as many facts as we like. but we need a police force to represent every aspect of the community. one for all and all for one.

carlty888

One for all and all for one?

Allright Dartagnan!

Guys, as this is the medical thread, it'd probably be best to move this topic to another thread.

Then we should bring in a 25% Protestant, 25% Rc, 25% Polish, 25% Chinese ratio to represent every aspect of the community, to use your phrase.

Why do all Police forces not have this kind of ratio? eg the London met should have a 50% black 50% other ratio.

Sadie we will have to agree to disagree on this issue me thinks.
