Garda Recruitment - Garda Trainees (Templemore)

Turbo T

Lads, this thread is as old as the hills.

The thread called Garda Trainees (Templemore) is a better one to post in. It was opened when the lads went down in Sept of last year.

This thread contains information about the old training programme etc. The new one made is for us with the new process and training programme.

Post away here if you want but I'd say the other one is better and more up to date.

It states to leave that space blank, I assume we get it on registration

I thought it just said to leave the Garda reg blank on the uniform size form.

You won't have a Reg number till you start on the day so don't worry about that one. Just leave it blank it'll be grand

are you serious

You get your reg number the first day of college

Your reg number is your registration number.
That's your number from now on!
It's basically the number of guards in the country, your whatever number guard that has joined.
you will always be identified by it.
