All in all is it easier or harder than you would have thought beforehand? How much time is there between the bleep test and sit-ups?

Got to level 8 last night, leg on fire and was hard to do sit-ups after with it, but if I have that long between I reckon I can stretch out enough. Do you run on your own?

Anyone any idea when offers are out or the phone call for availability?
A Supt came over to me yesterday to see how I was doing, telling me don't look so nervous you'll be fine. He then said he didn't know who was going into October or December still being sorted. When the physical is done and you passed your free to go either leave or take a shower. All that was said to me was well done congratulations and HRM will contact you in due course.
Another instructor just.said well done see you soon.

Offers went out on June 30th for the July intake that went in on the 27th of July... That is the equivalent of offers going out yesterday for a start date of October 19th... Read into that as you wish...

Talking to a trainee yesterday and she said there's no date set as they need to move out and haven't being told also reading week on 26th of October so they don't think we'd go down when they're not there?

Yea it's anyone's guess but they may have to push the start date back because of the struggle for numbers alright! more time to save

Blueandwhite15

True enough could be November so. Ah well I'm sure we'll know soon

No offers out yet did you get a email today as well? Im still playing the waiting game also

jwm85

My rough calculations:

OOM starts at approx 453
Apparently there were approx 80 waiting before that
Approx 100 started in July and they're apparently taking 150 before the year is out so they should approx reach 623

I'm only speculating

There may have been some people who's vetting came back quicker than other so they would jump the queue ie: reserves or people with few relatives etc

Or just google Loughborough Shuttle test and you'll find links with the breakdown

True but I'd reckon they broke the 500 mark though with medical fails, deferrals, pct fails and re tests, vetting delays and fails, people withdrawn or did not attend fitness tests etc taken so far they took in 400 to date your figures are allowing that all the above were approx 11% of the OOM. I reckon it would be 20-30% failure/withdrew/did not attend and then the deferrals at each stage also.

Again this is only all speculation and hopefully we will hear properly within the next few weeks!

I agree plenty have possibly declined the offer for better alternative offers from civil service or even the private sector and then people who failed medical or physical, and of course deferrals for personal reasons too...

Although I do hope offers are out by next Friday...
