Probably best to contract the Orderly Room of your old unit.

Still having no luck with a bed and breakfast close by... Is it possible to get the ferry across from cobh? Does that drop you off near haulbowline? I have to be there at 7:30am so whats the earliest it leaves?

If you still have nothing at this stage, then get a room in the Hotel in Carrigaline, and book a cab to get you there in time.
Naval Boat transport is for naval personnel only, unless it expressly says you can use it in your email. The river ferry from cobh crosses to nowhere near Haulbowline. I suggest you look at the map on osi.ie to see where you are going(google maps thinks haulbowline doesn't exist)

Just after finding one in Raffeen, the place you mentioned in your earlier post... Looks to be a bit of a distance away... About 4/5km? Which would be easily walkable depending on the weather!

Its a good walk, footpath all the way, but won't you be expected to do fitness thingys on the day?
For the sake of personal comfort, book a cab to bring you there. There are loads of companys in Carrigaline. I'm sure the B&B would have a few reliable ones.

If theres a few of us heading down on the same dates it would make sense to stay at the same place and share the taxi in the morning.. Anyone down on the 28th?

I found a B&B that's only about 5/6km up the road from the island if that's any good to ya? I'm gonna ring up myself tomorro and get it sorted, see if I can get a taxi out the following morning that early.

I'm in the same boat as you.. Just take it that we've to do it again and at least we're prepared that way!

Dr.Sanchez

Yeah, ye shouldn't worry about the interview if you've both done it already and got on grand

Hows your fitness?

rockagusroll

The pushups and situps should be grand and I got a 9.28 last time i timed the run How you getting on with yours?

Dr.Sanchez

10:15... Not stopping till I get it down under 10 though! Tarmac is tough on the knees! The push ups and sit ups are pretty easy for me tho...

why so serious?

Does anyone know how many they have called back and how many they are recruiting this time around? I rang them a few times to find out but got no answer...

cheers mate, nice one!

Well lads. Was down there today for medical and fitness, didn't have to do another interview and neither did the other lads. Looks like its about 40 they're taking on but i'm not sure how many are expected down!

Dr.Sanchez

Cool, how many lads were down with ya? Did any fail the medical or fitness?

rockagusroll

There was 6 of us there, one or two never turned up.. No-one failed either but i think a couple lads might have to repeat parts of the medical!

Dr.Sanchez

The more who don't turn up the better, right? Take it you flew it? How's the run? All flat ground?

Congrats anyway, hopefully u get it!

Cheers mate and best of luck to you too! The more the better is right Yea the run was grand, mostly flat ground with just a little incline on the bridge, just pace yourself and you'll be fine!

Cheers for getting back to us chap, I'm down now on Thursday, puts my mind at ease knowing I don't have to do the interview again, well more than likely I don't anyways seeing as you and the other lads didn't have to, I should fly through the fitness test and have no problems with the medical, suppose they are just going to pick the best of the best though so hopefully too many aren't getting called back!

rockagusroll

Yea all we can do is our best and then hopefully not too much more waiting! Best of luck!
