ya had to do a medical for them aswell,the army one was totally different to the navy medical,and i was told by the navy doc that the medical for the navy reserves is the same for the permanent this was the first year. oh navy all the way i was on the water before i could even walk ha ha,but i will take what i am givin in this day and age cant be too picky. im based in cork what about yourself ?

Kaka92

Has anyone recently got an email for a medical?
Still haven't heard

killer91

I still haven't received a date for a medical but the email I posted earlier in the thread indicates that they probably behind in getting people in.

I'd be hopeful to get a date in August an hopefully get into the October intake.

Ye same here. I'd say it is because they have the reserves, cadets and both the army and navy recruits to get through.

I'd love to get a date soon before I havto pay any fees for college.

Gazo66

If you pass your medical, does this mean your in or can ya still not get it if you pass your medical ??

killer91

I'm pretty sure if you pass the medical and Garda vetting, that you'll be getting in.

Gazo66

Ya no like all these lads saying there's 180 left in competition for only 80 places smear happens to the other 100 I no not all will pass med's but that would still leave a good few out after the 80 are taken on that's the way I would look at anyway

jmurt90

The day of the brief they said those who are not taken in the 80 will be taken in next year if they've passed the medical they go on like a waiting list for drop outs as well
