    Can't see the medical or PCT being an issue. I've got a check by the doctor, dentist & an audiogram. All were good to go!
    I play lots of sport and in decent shape.
    I just hope the vetting is quick

    Are references not contacted until you pass medical and physical or can they be contacted at any time? Same with sgt and super meeting is that only after everything is passed?

    All happen once interview is passed, only the physical is left until you have passed your medical.

    The references and meetings with the sergeant and super are all dependent on the local sergeant organising those meetings and making those calls.

    Think between the laser eye surgery and all it'd look worse if I tried to put it off

    Fair point... god that is really unfortunate....

    They have you sign a form declaring you're fit to do the test on the day, and you get a decent enough break between the beep/sit ups/press ups and the circuit/push-pull. So you may just manage it!

    Also if you get through the beep/sit ups/press ups but don't make the circuit/push-pull or vice versa they'll give you a chance to repeat the half you didn't pass so give it your all and fingers crossed you'll get it in one go!

    I'm guessing the people in line for the October intake probably won't hear anything until the middle of September!

    If the intake is going down start of October then the earliest we'd hear is early September, there are rumours or guesses that it'll be mid October though so we're likely to have a few more weeks waiting!

    If it's the 19th then offers don't have to be out until the 19th of September.
    I mean the question is do they have the numbers for October yet? I've my medical next week and I'm meeting my Sgt today. All my references were contacted. If/when I pass medical is it reasonable to say I may get a week or so notice for PCT , given that I'm at the the start of the new OOM?
