    Only thing known for fact is 1st squad is 39. Rumoured that following squads are fewer so I'd say 120 max so far.

    120ish was the top estimate we've come up with so far, there were 40 first group, 30ish the second and around 40 again the third so not near 150 yet! There's still plenty of space for those of us out here waiting! :)

    Oh no I'm not doubting you or anything! It really did seem at the time to be a small group of people considering we had 20ish on here waiting for calls and only 6-8 got them! It just seems a bit different because if you read past threads it seems like nearer to 50 went into GV each time.

    This is the list I put together as of two weeks ago, I don't know if there have been any medicals in the interim but no one has really said they've passed everything and are just waiting now (that I've noticed lol).

    Missed that post, there were less than 40 at the induction. I'd say all in all the number is currently around 100 in total

    It's not that :)

    I can only speak for myself here, but there's a lot on my mind and a lot of things to do. We have been strongly encouraged to help each other and the squads which come after us, but you will know yourself you are not at any stage supposed to release details of dates. In my mind I'd rather not go into any specific details as I'd rather err on the side of caution.

    It was great to finally speak to the others in the squad, bunch of great people.

    Ha I was only taking the hand. I imagine if I get the call I'll be too busy trying not to choke on my own heart to be on boards. Glad induction went well for you people! Hope nobody failed it :)

    I also thought everyone at my pca was great. The confident ones were v supportive of the nervous ones and all chatty and friendly. As they should be but was great to see!

    Coppers on shortly. Public order (I think) so PSNI relevant. Always worth a watch!
