Congrats Beca, hopefully a few more boardies will be joining you and have just not made it on here yet to tell everyone!

urbantiger

Got a call this morning too.
Total disbelief at the minute, don't think its sunk in yet!

Delancey

Great news urbantiger - for a while there it looked like Becca was on her own

urbantiger

Thanks mate, I'm sure we'll here a few more success stories when everyone manages to get home!

1986j

I really really hope I get in ASAP

urbantiger

Fingers crossed for you 1986j

1986j

Thanks for kind words and well wishes.

My merit score is not the best but everything passed and I got the 'Progressing letter don't contact us we will contact you' letter. Now I will be hoping like mad tomorrow. If nothing tomorrow I will TRY to forget until Feb if there is one. After that not too optimistic.

urbantiger

Well people with merit scores higher than me had been accepted into the last intake so there is still every chance.
I think having your vetting and medical cleared are more important than your merit score?

B182

hate reading these now I will be like yourself 1986j thinking about this I checked last time calls went out and vetting was ongoing don't want to ring them And bother them

Congrats to you both hopefully more boardies get the call I feel bad for the dec intake if they're doing drills outside in this weather

It is so frustrating. I am literaly constantly thinking about this.

My letter was promising but nothing is guarenteed at all. the longer I have to wait the less chance I have.

What was your merit score Utiger if you dont mind me asking?

urbantiger

Hi Kizwiz, don't mind at all.
It was lower than 50 and I'm an NRC.
I panicked a little bit when people with higher numbers started getting in, I thought something had gone wrong with my vetting.

Gee-22

Congrats to all those who received the call. Very jealous

The silver linning for the rest of us, is the fact it moves us all up the list for future intakes.

Thanks

You know....hips , waist , boobs , etc

Only kidding of course . Vital Stats basically means merit placement ( approximate that is ) and community background ( if that person wishes to disclose it ).
Most people here realise that at this point merit score is not the big deal - the important thing now is to have passed medical and vetting.
