Hi, Got merit list number today... not very happy
does anyone know what a decent enough number for a RC??? what happens now... is it simply waiting for a call that might never come or will they contact u again???
From what I've read on here it's quite hard to tell, people have told me about some people who are RC getting in with a merit score of plus 800 so you might be alright.
Yep, now we wait! They won't contact you again until it's 'the call'.0 -

Just remember, there were a couple of thousand extra applicants this time round - which will no doubt push that lucky merit cut off down a bit...making it a bit harder.
(Unless ofcourse you know of people who have already got in this campaign, with a high merit score -in that case i dont know how they work nowdays)
yes your hair must be very short. No sideburns, or facial hair growing during training. You'll be told by the drill staff anyway

What's a show parade that everybody mentions?
I thought about not answering this and just leaving it to your imagination but then I thought I may as well tell you so maybe you'll be able to avoid them
A show parade is what happens when either your uniform or room isnt up to scratch. Your room will get inspected and if the drill staff dont like it you'll be outside your room at 10pm that night in your best uniform for it to be inspected again.
if your uniform isnt up to scratch on a friday for Chief's parade you'll be lined up at 5pm on a friday in best uniform to be inspected again, meanwhile everybody else will already be at home.
Or if your spotted by drill staff with your hands in your pockets - show parade.
When marching to class and you're stopped outside the drill hut to be inspected and its first thing in the morning and you havent ironed you're trousers - show parade.
When you're doing drill and drill staff decide its time for an inspection and your boots have grey heals - show parade.
Its awesome I was good at keeping my uniform immacualte so only had 3 the whole time I was there but there were others who were on it all the time 0 -

If one person mucks up with their uniform does the whole squad get it or do they single you out? I'm terrified now in case I do get in lol
Do you get inspected every morning before class?
When you say hands in your pockets, does that mean anywhere? Or just during inspections etc0 -

Thanks Boutye! Hope they let me defer if I'm called early. The show parade sounds fun, looks like I'm going to have to learn how to iron
hey jclegs, I know a couple of guys who deferred as they were getting married/holiday booked and they asked to see the reception booking confirmation/holiday tickets etc
what's your merit score?0 -

No its only you going on show parade if you muck up. At least thats how it was when we were there. I remember one time though 3 out of 4 of our squads were put on show parade one friday because the majority of people in each one were bad so everybody had to suffer.
As for hands in the pockets, thats any time they see you with a hand in your pocket you'll know about it.
And after a while you have to march to the first class in the morning and the first class after lunch. Sometimes you'll be stopped and inspected and if you're not up to scratch then its show parade.0 -

what's your merit score?
My merit score is in the 130's but I don't finish uni until around May time. July would be ideal, as I know they don't usually have a June intake. I never thought I would get this far on my first time applying. I would be heartbroken if they didn't let me defer (if necessary), as I've wanted to be a police officer since I was no age.
I would be the first one at the gate if they did!
P.s. Congrats on your merit score, you must have been on fire at the IST and A/C!0 -

Anyone care to estimate how many people from the merit list will be eliminated through the medical and vetting? Going crazy trying to work out how many people have to go before I get a call
Unfortunately I am in the 700s
Keep the faith Adolphus. From what I've seen from old campaigns on this forum that is still a getting in score.0 -

Thank you, I am remaining positive. It is the uncertainty and not knowing that is driving me crazy. I would much prefer a firm yes/no answer to this process.............well mostly yes and perhaps less of no 0 -

Yeah I have to agree with that Adolphus. I am actually more anxious now that I know my score, I am a bit like you I wish they would give us a yes or no.0 -

I too agree with Adolphus a .. it'd be nice to get an answer soon so that it's not all worrying and anxiety as my score wasn't that high either.. good luck to us all i say
Seems that worry and anxiety are the two most commonly used word on this form mate:)
I'd say settle in for the long haul and try not to get too hung up on this process (easy to say I know as I feel the same as you do!).
Make sure to apply for the next campaign in 2010 as it seems that you need to keep all the options open until you get the magical call from appointments:D0 -

I heard it could be as low as 50 to be trained in 2011. Four factors I reckon may impact on this would be:
1. How many go through training in 2010;
2. What happens to the PSNI reserve;
3. If 50:50 recruitment is binned.
4. Will the training centre need to close for a while to allow staff to transfer to the new site if and when they ever dig a sod!
Just my thoughts on it. I am not in the know by any stretch of the imagination. Sadly I just pick up on any rumour, add 2 and 2 and get 7 (most people usually get 5 but I dare to be different). 0 -
