Applied March 2009TEMPLEMORE FEBRUARY 2011 HERE I COME
Well done Kerry you will love it. All the instructors at the college are great , willing to answer any question and do their utmost to get you through the course successfully. The physical stuff is really good but you need to practise it over and over again to perfect the techniques especially on the cuff course. Had to spend my luch time going over the stuff but eventually got it down perfect.
Started my phase one in April 2010 and started phase 4 in July 2010 and graduated in Nov 2010. The time just flew by.
Am working in a really busy station , have a great unit , the skippers and inspectors are very supportive. Managed to get in a huge amount of hours and still feel there is so much to learn.Have been allowed to participate in normal duties and some unusual ones. Work with some great guys and girls. The better the unit the more experience you will get and the faster you will learn.
Remember keep answering those questions , you will be amazed at how much info you will absorb.0 -

Thanks a million
. I decided to call, spoke to a very nice lady on the phone, she told me my checks are still ongoing, but im at a very good stage and not to worry . I meant to ask, Is it true that if all the processes so far have been resonably quick, that my checks should be completed fairly lively? 
. I would really like to make it to Templemore by Summer . 0 -
Thats good. No the speed of your application up to now doesnt have an impact on the speed of your checks. What does impact on them is the amount of relations that you have put on your form. (they all need to be checked) and also if they live abroad or not (If they do it will take longer). If you had an address abroad for a length of time that would hold up the checks also. If you have none of tbe above then your checks should be done within a few months and you should have a good chance of seeing templemore during summer time 0

I know it is hard not to be ringing as you are anxious to get in, as was i. when i graduated in november the total number of reserves was 900, leaving room for roughly 500 more and about 6 or 7000 have applied for those places. So can you imagine the volume of calls the few people are getting everyday from applicants. in my opinion they are just telling people they will look into it to keep you happy. at the end of the day the people you talking to aren't the one's doing the checks, it's a few in SDU.
i know its annoying, but try and be patient mate 0
