I'm just wandering about the HEP B injections we get in the 11 weeks after garnerville, are they sore? I have a SEVERE phobia of needles
and i think that is what is worrying me the most!
The injection is not sore at all. You might get a little redness and small bump afterwards but it should be gone by the next day.
When getting the injection just look away and think happy thoughts. Also try not look at other people getting their injections0 -

I can understand how you feel MGH but it takes a personal decision to apply as well as a personal decision to withdraw an application.
Lets not be too harsh on people who feel they can no longer go forward with there applications.
Again not having a go at you but thats the way it is
Nog
In no way took this as "a go at me"
Just my humble opinion.0 -

I think that people should generally just be a little safer.
Not dragging back 'old ways' but maybe some of you who are going to and from Garnerville or certain places in-which you visit more than once should maybe consider taking a different route to Garnerville? Obviously not all the time a new route, but not the same route twice and in no order, like one day this way and one day the next and then repeat for it to be the same, totally random?
Sorry if that sounded stupid, just a thought.

Well, I had a good think about wether I would like to have to watch over my shoulder, and constantly be on alert for the remainder of my career. I know the PSNI get an extra allowance because of the security threat they face, and in my opinion, that and the other rewards from the job do not cover the threat I would be exposed to.
Also, I know it is true that every police force in the world faces significant threats, however a threat directed at rc trainee psni officers, from what were once regarded as the most sophisticated terrorist outfit in the world, makes the personal safety issues a bit more extreme than if I were joining the guards....
There is an article in today's Irish Times on yesterdays interview in the Tribune, again they point out that anyone considering joining the psni should seriously reconsider....
hope all goes well for you its a brave decision to make what ever you choose.
but i wouldnt give those people the glory of being called sophiscated there not, theve enlisted young people who dont know what or why there fighting and as a group they certainly do not have any skill their opportunists, dangerous but definitly not co-ordinated or sophiscated their just the lowest of low who get itchy feet at easter.
i might be being young and niave but im not being put off, i want them to rot in prison cells most likely crying for their mummy.0 -

Friends,
I read with interest the concerns of a few regarding the recent security threats, but all has not been 'rosey in the garden' for quite some time, to quote an esteemed colleague recently. As psni said 'There's no end to the amount of dramatic sentences you can write because of this new threat' and I agree. But the events of late and the propaganda that followed is certainly worthy of concern and I wouldn't hold it against any person who has doubts as to whether this is their chosen career. But believe me, those who decide to commit to the service will be amongst the most professional, resolute officers in the world. With around 7500 colleagues by your side, you'll be in the biggest gang around; and we will always win!
Good luck to all.
Signed W.Churchill jnr

I think you have the right attitude mate, but i can understand the concerns of people with familys, children, etc.RoscoPColtrane wrote: »If I didnt have the full support of my family it would certainly be tough(er).
This is where i am very lucky, my family, partner and friends all support me 100% because this is something i have always wanted to do. I feel for people who don't have that support because the job can be very stressful and tough.Friends,

What a post! I agree 100% mate. 0 -

Jeez have just been reading all the posts in the last few pages there.
I feel really sad for all the people who have to give up their dream because of a dumb, uneducated, closeminded teeney weeney group of people who dont even have the support of those they consider to be their "own people".
I sometimes liken these people to brain dead teenagers playing relentlessly on their stupid playstations...shooting each other and gettin all excited when they kill and get points...only this is not a game!!
My heart goes out to those who feel they have to give up their dreams but i totally understand why theyre doing it. Although these terrorists are childish, immature (and most of them probably just out of nappies) their threat is very real.
I will continue on my quest to join the psni regardless. They will not win!!
Deep very deep

so how do we, as a society change the perception of the these young disillusioned young men who probably come from large republic areas and are sucked in to the beliefs. I believe they are influenced by older peers ideologies and they are used probably to prove their alliance and thus take the fall for the crimes they do. Do the psni officers visit primary/secondary/high schools in republican areas?
i suppose where i live is considered a republican area but we have very good relations with the police and they have done alot of community work to build up these relations.
when we were in primary the RUC came in and did a cross community school exercise unfortunatly i dont remember much about it, but i did get a certificate the psni have been in the secondary schools a fair bit with drug talks motoring safety and things like that.
perhaps that is the right approach to an extent, but generally the attitude of the police here is perhaps the main reason they are accepted, there willing to engage with the public.
i think the main problem with areas your identifying are the parents living in the past and not allowing their children to move on either, people like that are the problem 0 -

Exactly. Perhaps the parents would have burned the colonial paper certificates and gave them a clip on the ear for colluding with the enemy! I definitely blame the parents. I guess they have a lot of anger and rage at the ruc which they dont see any different, psni/ruc, all the same to them. You cant teach an old dog new tricks as they say, so what do you do with them? Maybe the kids would have more sense than some of the parents to see that the change is happening and will take time...0 -
