I'm legally here now - medical passed! Hope the wait is not too long.

congrats, well deserved. Does anyone know for certain that the successful people will be contacted by phone or will it be a letter?

Pretty sure it's a phone call just to be sure they have made contact. Would imagine there would be a letter of confirmation as well

As far as I know they phone in the first instance and follow up with paperwork but if they can't get you by phone they will write.

I got the pass letter yesterday morning can't believe how quick they came out.

Also the barber was very curious as to why there were a number of chunks missing from my hair lol

Think it will be in next two weeks as I was speaking to a Sgt from training at the end of last week who told me that they were expecting the names of the new recruits shortly.

Just did a wee 30mins cycle on a spin bike for charity there, 18.4km covered. = one tired student....
Definitely going to have to go a bit more cardio if I get into the depot!

Maybe we should have a wee list of those enduring 'the wait'. I was thinking earlier how far those remaining have come from being members of a 7,500 strong group of initial applications to potentially being in the top 100!

19087

In fact every single person who gets a place in the magical 378 has beaten 19 other people to it! That's pretty good going

Would love it

Just out of interest, where are people here from?? Most of you don't have a location up. If you don't want to be too specific, Northern Ireland or Republic of Ireland etc will do. Just interested to see if many from down south are going for it!

Just breaking it down.
In the vaguest possible terms

What we thinking... Has to be soon if they are going to start calling people right? In order to allow people to hand in notices etc.

19087

Heard rumours that you lot will get 'the call' this week, but then again this whole process has been rife with rumours that end up not being true!

I am thinking next week...to ensure that the appropriate amount of notice can be given.

Hope not ?

Remove or edit lads. It's against the rules to post dates and its potentially dangerous

I meant May. Always a Sunday supposedly. I deleted my post, can people edit quote?

The Sunday you speak of is not May. Don't want to post a date but I know this for a fact

The start date is in May. I had it confirmed when speaking to Sgt from training last week and well as from a few other sources.

So hopefully we will hear soon...

burgerburger

I'm baffled, is it more important for people to prove themselves right over start dates on an internet forum or to keep all new recruits safe by not mentioning dates at all? I suggest that posts relating to day, dates, months etc are all removed.

DesertCreat_15

When you guys do get the call..... would someone be willing to ask, what can a mate in the B group expect?

DesertCreat_15

BTW, according to the 2014-2017 policing plan, you are starting in May,im sure you all knew that anyway !

wanadrum

Anyone else's mind go into overdrive when they have missed a call from an unknown number these days? Probably some cold caller about ppi claims, but it could also be the call!

Goose2301

I had a missed unknown this morning and one early afternoon.. PPI probably or someone from a company I was looking online for insurance quotes ..

Ring ... ring...

LtCustard

I don't know about anyone else but this waiting business isn't good for the nerves lol, standing in work all day today thinking I wonder if it could be today the phone goes hate this lol

whatinthe

Today was a long day. Will they ring mobile or landline?

LtCustard

I've a feeling this week is going to go slow just outta interest and I shouldn't be counting chicks and all that, but is anyone in here in into powerlifting/bodybuilding I've a feeling this might have to go on the back burner for abit, think we will get much down the at gville ?

I love my lifting too, but I also do a bit of running (sprint intervals + steady) and swimming. Don't see why it would have to be put on the back burner, so long as you're fit enough to do any PT in GV?

On the bodybuilding side, prob best to leave it off. I'd imagine it will be hard to meet calorie requirements in GV! That's providing we get the call

This is awful. Haha you would think it would need to be this week with a possible induction day soon.

19087

I suppose the whole situation probably needs to be relatively fluid, perhaps they are waiting on someone's vetting to clear (or something along those lines) I hope you all don't have to long to wait. I'm in my own personal 'wait' for a medical date!

wanadrum

I hear calls are coming!
