Hey Paul Blog

da_Flash,

What were the eyesight requirements for the medical?

da__flash

Hows things...... the vision requirments are as follow the vision standard required of a Garda reserve is not less than 6/18, 6/18 (correctable to 6/9, 6/12) unaided by glasses or contact lenses, with normal colour vision... what this basically means is you have to be able to read as far as the 3rd last line on an eyechart:D

billyhead

When you say correctable can you wear glasses during the test

Gravy

The Gravy

I've never experienced anything like it!

You don't know what real gravy is until you've had your meat, spuds, veggies, plate, tray, knife + fork, serviette etc smothered in it in tipp

can't wait to go back, I want to try it on the boiled egg next time:P

the gravy???
i dunno about the gravy or even the food there beacuse its a kind of scarce for the breakfast like. at least the shops are not too far away for a good roll and the chipper for dinner beacuse their dinner was at 1.30 like come on your starvin come 6 again. but i thought the training in the classes were very good. loved the selfdefence classes!!!! brilliant craic and great group down there last weekend.

paulbolg

i think there was something like 40 odd of us there i think someone else could give a proper figure. in the DMR district there is 20-23 of us and there 4 girls and in templemore i think there 12?? maybe a few more. but i can tell you the would beat any fella any day. great people there and you get to know alot more about them throughout the course and meeting up after the day. i suppose you could say people kind of form groups amongst themselves. cant wait until we go back down again. the only downer was the rooms itself. but once a bed was there that was all you wanted
