Vetting was still outstanding on Thursday morning. Am I hoping for a miracle for May?

I was the same, hopefully a few in a similar situation and they get them moved on. Was told Thursday I got a chance for May, so it's a long shot.

But so was sizing john in the gold cup!

Could be any day this week. They're usually out late in the week I think think they were only sent out early last week due to Paddys Day making it a short week

Not yet. Hopefully it arrives tomorrow.

Has anyone asked HR if they've sent out the packs yet?:)

Don't worry there isn't much in them! Just a small list of what to bring to the college, sick/maternity leave info, pension authorisation and details of the Garda ranks. You'll get all the information down there when you start.

Thank you for that.. I did mean the offers though! I'm sure you mean well by your previous comment but I don't think you should be promising people who pass physical that they will definitely be in this year. You can't predict how long vetting can take for someone!

Perhaps...im only basing it on what i was told by instructor at my own physical.

Everything done with 6 weeks vetting cleared and signed would I be dreaming thinking possible second round offer for May as I'm from September (very low OOM)

Gnr_Iver

There are a lot of people waiting on offers from the 2015 campaign so I doubt it bud.

I'm fairly sure I saw someone with a high enough OOM from September 2016 say they got an offer for May so I guess anything is possible. Very unfair though if September are getting called before the previous campaign (based on everthing cleared I mean!!)

Gnr_Iver

Ah well I suppose you're right, you can't bet on anything and you wouldn't know what to believe. There are so many people going through the system now its hard to know what's going on.

One of the lads I play football with got an offer today. He's from the Jan 2016 campaign in the 800's

Marksy8429

Hey Guys I have a quick question have my pct test Saturday and just wondering do they let you know when you've reched your required level or how does it work? Hoping those waiting hear some good news soon can only imagine how frustrated ye are!!

Yes they will shout out the levels past 6 I think it was might be 7 anyways same concept such as "6.1 6.2" and so on after each beep and once you complete your level you stop job done

Thanks so much hoping for a miracle:)

I assume we'll need laptops for the duration of the six months. I haven't bought one yet can anyone recommend any good ones for doing work on that we'd need for assignments etc?

I have a Sony Vaio myself and couldn't recommend them enough, great laptop in my opinion.

called HR today vetting is cleared, medical is done too- only PCT on way, i'd say this won't do for May intake anyway.

JustCaff

Hey gang, any sign of the info packs this morning? Working at the moment so I'm just curious if they've been sent out yet

You said you passed your interview on the 28th of Feburary. Are you saying you done your medical / met the Sgt. & super and have your vetting cleared and signed off by the commissioner all in 3 weeks??

Yeah, it just goes through what you need to bring with you when we start in the college, also what you can buy from the college shop. Goes through the Do's n Dont's and FAQ's.

Gnr_Iver

The runners we have to bring don't have to be all white. I've been told that you can wear any colour you want. They're not to strict on it.

Anyone heard the same ?
