Went up to have a gander at museum and that. Really cool it just shows the difference between it and a normal job. They all take such pride in it and I was speaking to retired guys and every single one of them would do anything to go back they said. Sure what job would you get that. We are in such a lucky position, it's about 3 times harder to get then the guards when you do the numbers ! Wil be some day putting that uniform on...

Sounds gud , I know feel very lucky to of got the position as competition would of been tuff but it all came down to putting the graft in ,, and I'm sure these next few months goin to be hard so I'd advise all of us to relax and enjoy because **** about to get real in two weeks ,, but I wouldn't want it any other way, obviously keep training up but we goin to be flat out very soon

Read the letter. Ring tax office with company number which will work until you submit p45

I've already been speaking to the revenue but just wasn't sure that would be enough.

I was speaking to revenue myself today they took note of start date and I gave them dcc account number they told me not to move my tax credits over till I get my last payslip so as not to be over taxed ,, then when I move them over next Thursday I'll be set up with dcc and will be on a week one tax basis until they and dcc receive my p45 which I was told could take two weeks to process but he reassured me that i won't be emergency taxed just a week one basis which isint bad if I was to get paid before they receive p45 and once it is received tax will be as it was and will be givin any over payment of first week wage bk

Just wear comfortable clothing turn up clean and be battle ready no harm throwing a change of clothes in the car ye wouldnt know what we be doing first day, introduction first, bit of class room then and out rolling hoses after who knows?

GoProGaming

Im bring a backpack with a note pad and a few pens, thats about it until im told more.

You wont need anything for the first day. No harm to have a kit bag packed (wash bag, sports gear etc) just incase but you have to do the manual handling before your allowed out on the yard and from what I heard from the last class they didn't see a length of hose until the thur/friday of week 1. You will most likely spend an hour or two doing contracts then a tour around then i would imagine a training ppe fitting then syndicate meeting with your syndicate officer then duties. You will get the boring introduction lectures and the PPE donning / doffing lecture etc along with locker assignments etc. They might even issue uniforms etc so day 1 is usually getting all this out of the way. you will prob be doing a swim assessment at some stage and a CFR course too I would imagine. somebody from the last class might know more im sure it changes with each class. The one thing I do remember is nothing is set in stone and can change at a minutes notice it's all part of 'the game'

enjoy!

RIGHT LADS!! This is possibly your last Monday morning as a civilian, this time next week you could be in the parade yard in the pissing rain being shown where you will be standing for the next 4 months. or maybe doing a safety induction or who knows what. but the point is that you will Be joining participating in your first day as new member of DFB. for some it will have been a life long attempt which will have paid off. either way i have no double that there will be 50 eager bodies reporting for duty next week.

What have you done to prepare for entrance next week? new school bag new lunch box?

I've said it a few times here now. Possibly late August but more likely early September.

However, the job is starting to to fill up again! But they have said that the classes will be run out back to back to back. So I'm sure it will go ahead.

Cheers chungwun. I'm on the panel for the esc control room position waiting on word for the second class. Would I be right in saying that if the class 3 ff is in September would the next batch of esc's be trained 3-4 months previous to that to allow 10 esc's in the control room to go on the ff course?
