Hi guys, just wondering if there are many of ye still waiting on your vetting? I passed the physical before christmas and am just waiting on the vetting. I was hoping to get the call for febuary but at the moment i think it seems unlikely.

There are a few of us. I did my physical in October and still waiting on vetting! I think February is nearly full at this stage so May looks more likely

I'm in the same boat!

I've asked a friend who is down there at the moment and they're not strict, they're wearing all sorts of colours.

Just bring any normal runners, nothing outlandish, like bright orange.

My guess on the runners been white is so that the floor is not marked with black runners. So I would say once the sole is white and non marking it would be okay!

They were, I was just asking because I thought I made a mistake so I'll ring them up to correct it.

I read on an old forum that if you let your car insurance company know you're moving to Tipp for 8 months they could knock the price off your policy a bit. Worth a try!

Anyone try this?

I rang my insurer today, they said the change of address would add 72e to my policy. I have just over four months left on it.

Also, if you don't notify your insurer that your vehicle will be at a different address for 4 or more nights of the week, it may invalidate your policy.

In Templemore it's single bedrooms with a sink a desk and a bed, we have to share showers and toilets.

Is it true we have another fitness test pretty much within the first few weeks of starting in Templemore?

Thanks a mill, she has a lot of cousins so this will really add time to the vetting. Can I ask about the oom, I'm not sure how that works hers was 165 before the interview and then after interview it changed to 69, is it the higher number the better or lower, have looked and I can't see any info on it anywhere?

The cousins aren't required for vetting but instead are required so that you're not stationed in an area that may cause a conflict of interest. This information will not cause a delay in the vetting process.

The lower your OOM (Overall Order of Merrit) the better

I passed the PCT on Saturday and my OOM is under 50 so I was just wondering. I emailed HR a few months ago and they advised my vetting was complete x
