I had to defer the first date I got for my repeat so I'm availing of the three months by choice. I reckon it will be right before Christmas if they stick to 3 months solid... or is there a chance they'll call me sooner has anyone deferred & when roughly were you called to repeat from time of initial fitness test? HRM said nothing has been announced for 2017 yet but I presume Feb will go ahead.

Hello!

Just wondering if anyone if coming back the Thursday 24th for induction week, around Midlands area that I could get a lift with?
I'm sure they will be a few people wanting to share travel, as it might be handier! I'm sure people will be glad of the petrol money ! Lol

Are many people bringing family down on the first day for induction? Also if you've never had a hep b shot, will you be required to get one?

Cheers for the reply, I think I'll park in the golf club in the morning and take it from there so. Later in the day, drive up and drop off my stuff.

Probably not because you haven't registered yet, and you haven't been allocated your room.

Valuevan13

Does anyone know how long we wait until we get our uniforms, and is it an actual full suit we wear until then???

Did you not get an induction pack?

Garda89

The letter inviting you to the induction week, a CV, P45, Birth cert, education awards, a list of your relatives and pps number. I've bought navy shorts and clothes brush and shoe polish and stuff like that

Izzyruby89

Hey guys.
This is last post I'll be posting to boards.
To everyone who's waiting to get in I wish you the best of luck.
For everyone starting on Monday don't worry it's all relaxed and you will be fine. You don't need your documents till the 28th. You'll be doing first aid and that's pretty much it.
Again best luck to everyone.

In relation to the induction week, Wat will we need realistically, for example will we need our laptops etc?

To those you have gone through the pct ,does anyone have a link for the actual shuttle test used for the PCT?Does it just correspond to what is described here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-stage_fitness_test

I have been using the blue running man bleep test app but I'm not sure if this is the right one or not,if someone has any info that would be great.I couldn't make the open day so not too sure either of the form for the sit ups and press up.

There is an app, it's has a green running man on the front, army uses it, they recommend it down in college, it's a bit harder then what is done but it gets ur fitness up well past the standard needed.
Sit ups are a person stands on your feet, two fingers touching side of temples and elbows have to touch out side of knees, shoulder blades touches the floor. Push ups differ for men and women but are handy enough. Hope that helps
