    Lets say god forbid ! We dont get called for the 48 new class would we really have to re apply and start it all over again or are we kept on the list from last year ??


  • Registered Users Posts: 112 ✭✭Celticlily


    I'm Lily from Cork (well ish) and I am 21.
    If we don't get in with this class we'll have to reapply...


  • Registered Users Posts: 31 IP2015


    Well is there really any reason why we shouldn't get in cause if we didn't I think they would have notified us by know !Like it's been a year and a half since we all applied and we didn't get rejected


  • Registered Users Posts: 112 ✭✭Celticlily


    I think we would now by now if we had failed. I wanted to give them a buzz but to be honest I'm not sure they would pick up the phone or answer the question.

    Its great we are still in the running for it ..... just thinking how many extra they have with the 48 they only need fingers crossed it will work out for us all


  • Registered Users Posts: 31 IP2015


    Yea I tried sending them an email not to long ago and I didn't get anything back off them !! I think the people that did the medical a few weeks ago are needed to fill the class , but tbh I don't know !!😞

    Any reply as of yet ? Thanks :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 112 ✭✭Celticlily


    Well nearly had a heart attack when my phone went off...to realize it was you ;) Nope no reply from them. Stress level is over the roof now.....really hoping that we will hear back this week.

    Was thinking earlier that they always give a two weeks notice so they probably will email on Friday or worst...Monday...

    Opps sorry about that ! It cant be much longer now : )best of luck again !


  • Registered Users Posts: 112 ✭✭Celticlily


    Might give them a buzz tomorrow ;) Just to know if we can have any information on the day we'll get the email


  • Registered Users Posts: 10 tk95


    Hey guys! Contacted them today under a Facebook post on the recruitment page and asked when would everyone be likely to hear whether they have been successful or not and the page replied that everyone would recieve correspondence after the closing date (May 22nd). I asked would it be much longer after that until everyone would be told and they said about 7-10 days after that date. Another 2 weeks or so but hopefully it's good news! :-)


  • Registered Users Posts: 112 ✭✭Celticlily


    So there is no class starting on the 30th of May ?!?! Cause then it would be too late. They have to give us two weeks notice for work. Did you specify the 2015 competition ??


  • Registered Users Posts: 51 ✭✭mrmanor


    Yeah it sounds like they meant the 2016 competition. Because for the 2016 competition you receive word of progression to the next stage 7 to ten days after the closing date.


  • Registered Users Posts: 112 ✭✭Celticlily


    I had a tiny fright there =) I don't wanna wait another month or two before hearing back from them.


  • Registered Users Posts: 31 IP2015


    Yea that seems a bit late I thought they usually gave us 2-3 weeks notice , if not then looks like there will be more waiting , yet again !!

  • Registered Users Posts: 10 tk95


    Yeah I asked when would applicants who had previously entered the competition last year get feedback and I was told nobody would hear anything until after the closing date for all applicants! I presume there's not a class starting the very end of the month with that short notice..


  • Registered Users Posts: 10 tk95


    Go on to the Irish Defence Forces Recruitment page on facebook and follow all the Navy updates! :-)


  • Registered Users Posts: 112 ✭✭Celticlily


    Just asked under the post they wrote on Facebook about taking a new class at the end of this month if we would hear back this week or next week. May get a bit luckier than with my email. I would say they need to tell us if we're unsuccessful before the closing date so we can reapply if we don't get a position. I find them quite disorganized....they could at least communicate a bit more with us instead of letting us wait like that


  • Registered Users Posts: 53 ✭✭RYANWHELAN15


    I definately thought 2015 competition was only for those who applied first day and class starting end of May for that 48 new class ....... and I thought 2016 comp was a separate recruitment again ??? None the wiser 2ngt ....


  • Registered Users Posts: 112 ✭✭Celticlily


    They answered my comment saying that all communication will be made via email. Nothing more....

    Yes ...its mind boggling waiting to see if they are starting a class the end of May or do we re apply again or what ?.?


  • Registered Users Posts: 21 RyanCork003


    Thought i would let ye know asked my buddy whos passing out in recruits soon just there and he said 30th of may there just trying to get the instructors for the class.they said that to the lads today.and ryan cork 21 see ye there soon lads


  • Registered Users Posts: 112 ✭✭Celticlily


    I reapplied just in case when they opened up the competition. Better safe than sorry. If they are looking for instructors then we might not hear feom them this week.
    Thanks for the update !!

    I reapplied as well, just in case something happens. I do hope that a class will be starting soon and I'll get called. Imagine having to do the whole process again.

    Ah boy the Irish optimism is one of the reasons why I love this country ;) Let's be hopeful so


  • Registered Users Posts: 51 ✭✭mrmanor


    I sent an email today as well. Tried ringing but I think they were closed. I'll mabey try again tomorrow if I can get the time. Fingers crossed we'll all here something soon.


  • Registered Users Posts: 112 ✭✭Celticlily


    Ah sure getting them on the phone is a nightmare. Whrn I tried to get them in December I was phoning twice a day and. Started ringing them on the Thursday and only got them on the Tuesday...


  • Registered Users Posts: 51 ✭✭mrmanor


    The navy's recruitment office is quite small, when I was at the fitness test the officer said it was her and an NCO who were the recruitment team. I thought she was joking but mabey it is true.
    The wait really is a killer it's hard to make decisions when you have the navy at the back of your mind.


  • Registered Users Posts: 112 ✭✭Celticlily


    Exactly. Can't book holidays, change job, get a flat. Everything decision is hard when you know you may have to cancel plans, move to a different flat within the next few weeks and quit your job when you said at the interview you were available for the next 12 months. But it all worthes it at the end.
    That officer was very very nice.

    Yea exactly I've told the person I'm working for now that I'm going on the 30th of May so after that I won't have a job !!, So frustrating waiting for an email , but yea exactly we have to stay positive !!


  • Registered Users Posts: 53 ✭✭RYANWHELAN15


    Tick toc .....tic toc ..... a bit of humour is needed I think to calm the nerves !!


  • Registered Users Posts: 112 ✭✭Celticlily


    I know I'm the same I hate my job and can't wait to give them my notice. But I won't do it until I've received the email tho....


  • Registered Users Posts: 112 ✭✭Celticlily


    Ah sure humour is the medicine for everything ;)

    Just wondering .. any reply from your email ? Thanks


  • Registered Users Posts: 51 ✭✭mrmanor


    Nope nothing yet. Trying not to check my emails or I'll never get any work done. But hey you never the may get back today.


  • Registered Users Posts: 51 ✭✭mrmanor


    Well nothing today, not that surprised to be honest. I really hope that it's just they need instructors and that they find them soon. No matter what I'm going to ring tomorrow because I have something coming up and if I go forward with it it's going to cost me a lot. Even if they just told us were in and they are just waiting on instructors, so that we are confirmed and our nerves would be settled.


  • Registered Users Posts: 51 ✭✭mrmanor


    Right so they got back to me they said that if there were any changes to dates that it would be announced on Facebook and that when the offers are being sent out it will also be posted on Facebook. So from what I read I still think the class is on the 30th.


  • Registered Users Posts: 53 ✭✭RYANWHELAN15


    That looks promising ! hopefully 2mor or monday so if 48 have to start in 2 weeks time !


  • Registered Users Posts: 112 ✭✭Celticlily


    Oh Gosh hope it's today I don't wanna wait another week end...jumping on my chair every time my phone goes off :) Fingers crossed guys we're nearly there
