    Got the email last week with the invite :) only thing is when i applied, training was at the weekend, and now it over a 2 week period with a number of other days off needed. Had to ring and pull out today :( its 15 or 16 days of annual leave to take. I only get 20 per year. I wanted to do it, but not that much. Anyone else have same trouble? 19 months of waiting for that

    Yeah phase 2 is going to be difficult. I almost had to decline the invitation as I'am in college. Phase 2 starts the week college starts back after the Easter break. Then I have to be in Templemore for two weeks when there is just three weeks of college left till exams. Very annoying as I will just have had two weeks off college, but its obviously done after easter because of bank holiday etc.

    I have told all the lecturers abou it and mixed reactions. However I am going ahead with the training. Its just going to be one hell of a juggling act! Also phase 3 starts just before my exams.... Phase 4 starts the day my exams start. (Luckily you have 10 weeks to complete) I'm going ahead as joining the gards is all I have ever wanted to do. Nobody said it was going to be easy! Just fortunate that I am not in my final year!

    However I can understand just how difficult Phase 2 will be for people in full time employment, and I dont think its fair. This is voluntary after all...... We have to make a living somehow......
