Congrats! It's a pity about the short notice, but I doubt you care anyway!

Don't forget to post here and let us know what to expect!

Hows the packing the lads going!?

RumHam

Just reading the info pack again and it says induction is from 10 tomorrow but families are welcome from 9 am. I'll be going in alone so would you show up at 9 anyway or wait until closer to 10?

Show up at 9. You'll be checked in and taken to your room to unpack. Into a lecture theatre for 10.

Hi guys,

Quick question, I placed 700 + in Order of merit after my interview (wohoo) Just wondering when would I be looking at starting (providing medical/vetting etc) >?

Also what happens now.. I got my interview results on the 24th so do I just patiently wait now for someone to contact me >?

Many thanks..

Is the open day for family just on the Monday because it's not that clear on the letter? Is the lecture at ten just for us or do family sit in on it aswell? And do the family just stroll about the place having a look or what does it entail?

If anyones looking for Navy swimming togs go to sportsdirect.com Just got a pair for 14euro. Not the ball strangler type but not the full short ones. Kind of like a pair of boxers. Bit snug but fairly aerodynamic hahah

Day 1 was good but very long. Full suits worn and a long day in the lecture theatre but it's good to get the boring stuff out of the way!

Trying to put together who's who from this but its going nowhere so far!

They've been fairly intense, ofa and manual handling as well as being graded in swimming.
It's good though, getting a good feel for the place.
It's all coming to a head tomorrow so most people are studying a bit tonight.

What are they studying for so soon? Is there tests on First aid or something?

Is there any hope for someone who can't swim? I'm very bad in the water and can't swim at all, terrified of the water. What he being tested in?
