Soon as it was finished i went out for a smoke haha, was bricking it thinking I'd failed the lung test. Feel a million times better since I gave them up bro, should really look into giving them up full time

haha did you find the lung test hard? I reckon once I get the email giving me a date for the medical I think I'll have some motivation to quit you know? As of now smoking is the only way to pass time until I get an email haha

did they actually tell u they want more women? if that's the case that's a bloody disgrace. If ye still want it u could try getting on to your local TD, and see what they could do

Yeah they told me that's there's a higher demand for women and if they can get them they'll be taking in. Not that many go for it.

Cant believe you've been waiting since 2014, there must've been something important gone missing in their files or some bollox like that

Would you not go to the barracks and try talk face to face to get some answers? Clearly nothing left to lose by this point, seems like they've forgotten about ye unfortunately

SimonLafferty2

Try anything man because 2014 is too long to be waiting, what age were you when you applied

John_D80

KazzieLou I'm not saying you are lying but you are definitely incorrect in some of the things you are saying.

Anyone from the recruitment drive in 2014 that was not inducted was advised they would have to begin the process again.
