Just so all you new blues know, the westlink is closed from 7am to 1pm on sunday for roadworks. so find a different way to GV if thats the way you were going to go. Dont be late!!!

Well how are the rest of my squad members getting on.

I can't believe we are going in on Sunday.

Sitting here watching the Bill, looking at my def's during the breaks. Think I know most of them now, just need another wee looking over at the weekend.

I am all packed, hope I don't show myself up by bringing far too much.:)

I can't believe new blues are starting, you'll probably hear alot about our "bad blues" course

Don't worry about definitions too much, yeah you need to know them and they help alot with the work but the def tests are just fill in the blanks.

If you don't smoke I'd advise you start because the smoking area is where you find out everything other than there you'll never really talk to the other courses......plus the smokers are clearly the coolest people in garnerville

The back of someone else's car could always be an option. Just ask. I can't imagine someone being an arse and saying no.

namnit

Am i the only one still studying away like mad and feeling like im getting nowhere! I thought i was doing great but i'm making a lot of mistakes on the defs!! I envy all you brainiacs who have it all done and learned and are moving on to the next parts! Back to the grind for me. Namnit i should have room in my car. Its still on southern plates so should be easy to spot! I'm hitting the road early so should be there just after 8am.

Mate I wouldn't worry to much about it you've still got 4 weeks to learn them. As long as you have a good idea Im sure that woulld be fine.

namnit

i should be there for 8.30 dude, thanks btw

here i cant get the defs to go in, if they test us ill be getting a bollocking lol everythime i learn something in the standing orders i forgot a line in defs!

I cant believe we start tomorrow, i feel sick lol what time do you have to leave at to get there?

Older

I'll be leaving just before 6am. Last time i left at 5.30am and was there just after 8am and that was hitting traffic on the outskirts of Belfast. And Im having that same problem- once i learn something new the stuff i thought i knew just drops out of my head and then i mix a few words up! I'm sure it will all come together and make perfect sense in a few weeks. Only 12 hours to go! Its like Christmas Eve only with more packing - a lot more packing.

I hope to see a lot more of you heading to Garnerville.

suziesaysso

have you jacked it in mr fug? what changed your mind?

MrFug

I actually did go in, however around lunch time I'd made my mind up that It just wasn't for me. Nothing in particular scared me off, and It wasn't a whimsical decision. I thought long and hard about what it would mean for me, and how it would change my life. I decided that in the end, I wouldn't be happy in training, or afterwards. I'm sure I've made a decision I won't regret.

I'm really glad I got the opportunity to go in though, and have a look around, so that I could make a decision. I can now concentrate my efforts on whatever career path takes my fancy now :P Hopefully I've freed up a spot for someone else!

Cpt. Sensible will have to bunk alone tonight lol. He was my bunk-buddy.

I'm sure you've made the best decision for you and I really hope you wont regret it, not after everything you went through to get there in the first place with the medical appeal etc.

Hell, I'll take your place even if it does mean bunking in with Captain Sensible!!!:eek:

suziesaysso

Fair play to ya, i'm sure it was a hard decision. Everything happens for a reason - this might help make your decision about what you really want to do. Best of luck with the future!

MrsGeneHunt

All the March trainees seem to have deserted us.....thought someone at least might have popped on to say hi....(yes, Carlty, I mean YOU!)

They go into GV and leave us mere mortals behind....:(

PC Inwaiting

Hi all

Can't believe our first week is over already, just getting packed ready to go back in.

Can't wait to get stuck in again and stop walking around so clueless.

Such a shame about Mr Fug, no one even got a chance to know him.

So Mrs...spill as many beans as possible:D Is the girls dress uniform trousers or a skirt??? Please say trousers, those skirts look awful.

Good luck for week 2.

PC Inwaiting

oh yes it is trousers but they are truely awful, they make your arse look huge. They catch on the hem of the boots and pull all the stitches out. My poor mother sent most of the weekend sewing as I am rubbish at it.

Wish I could go back now to hit the gym but you are not allowed in before a certain time.

The rooms are like a prision cell but a lot worse, I send as least time as possible in there. Can't wait for the April intake so we will not be the newbie's for long.

Any other question feel free.:D

PC Inwaiting

One thing there is def not a lack of his MEN, they out number us ladies by at least 5 to 1, if not more.

But I am sure you will only add to the view lol.

I am off to pack, talk to you all next week.:D

PapaYankeeGirl

Thanks PC.I,

Where did those female officers at Constable Carroll's funeral get their skirts from....(not that im after one or anything)

PS- i cant sew either:o

Have fun missy,

Where is Sir Carlty and wee Squirrel I haven't sniffed them since before they commenced training!?? Flip GV must be tough if they can't spare 5 mins to say hello!:D;)
