The email I received says one session only on Saturday starting 10am.

thelmascanl

Wait until you receive the email and then reply to them stating you can't make it. They may run another one. I recall last year they ran open days on the Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

Does anyone know when they say your eyesight has to be 6/18 correctable to 6/9 6/12. Does the correctable mean with the aid of contacts or surgery??

ansmcwilla

Is it May 9th for open day?

Probably something similar to the fact some people are getting references checked, appointments to go meet superintendent and others are not. I'm sure everyone will get one eventually.

Correctable with glasses/contacts. So if you wear glasses or contact lenses make sure to bring them with you to the medical.

Mc Garnigle

All I have got is my date for the medical. Anyone else in the same boat?

You'll have to pass both, unless of course you pass the unaided test with eyesight of 6/9 or better :-P

If you wear glasses could you pass the medical? My right eye is perfect but my left is pretty bad

It depends on how bad the left eye is tbh. Best person to ask is your optometrist. Worse comes to worse, you'll get a referral if your eyesight isn't good enough which will give you the opportunity to get laser eye surgery done.

Would your local station be in a large town or is it a quiet one?

My local station is ballyfermot! A large enough area! But I'm from palmerstown! We don't have a station because we're small

thelmascanl

What exactly does the meeting with the local super intended involve?

thelmascanl

Meant superintendent not intended. Woops

jwm85

I still haven't got any word about open day?

Me neither, but I wouldn't worry, it's weekend. We probably won't hear anything before Tuesday, anyway. No point in getting stressed out, take advantage of the poxy weather and have a few pints to celebrate passing the interview

I got the glasses months ago so can't remember the prescription:o I never wear the glasses and only find it difficult to see small writing.. I'll see if I have anything in the house that may answer your question

Hope I don't need any procedures it's just another thing to add to the list of things to do :rolleyes::rolleyes:

Then he talks about it... Then he sends a form to the head of the division and you go talk to him!!! Well that's what's happening with me.... I'm gettin a call Tuesday about my meeting

Did you wear a suit?

jwm85

Anybody still not get email about open day?

Yeah cause I didn't know what to wear! But you can never be too over dressed!!!!!! But went for the top shirt button opened with no tie to counter balance the smart with casual!!!! I didn't get an email about the open day but everyone is off today and I doubt they're automated emails!

Dublingirl88

Hey all I'm number 553 on OOM and my medical is may 28th

After the orientation back in Feb i joined a gym and have been training so the PCT wont hold me back, what are people doing to train etc?

Jus been stayin active with my sports!!!!!!! Need a good run though!!!!!! Am dreading tryin that beep test haha

Dublingirl88

Ha yeah I was looking at the YouTube videos and definitely gonna get the running shoes on this week!

Any thoughts on how to prepare for the push pull machine?

Killinator

Just a quick one,
The self declaration vetting form, there doesn't appear to be anything on it or in the email to suggest it needs witnessing by anyone so I'm assuming it doesn't need witnessin, right?

It doesn't need a witness. why would it need a witness?

Form B had to be witnessed by a garda but this one is only signed by us and stamped by AGS once they're happy with it I presume?

You can download a beep test app so mite go look like a crazy person in the field!!!!!! No idea how to practise a push pull but maybe a rowing machine and lateral press machine would help!!!!! I play rugby so hopefully that helps!!!!!

There's less information on this one I guess. I was going to say it's info they probably already have on pulse but I went to the station today to make sure my details were accurate and they had no record of any penalty points or fines I had received!

Yeah.... Me neither but I'd imagine they'd be quick enough if they needed to find it!!!!!!!!
