    Well I actually spoke to recruitment yesterday and was given an update. There is still a delay for some administration wise. I was just curious if it was yesterday to see if it got fixed. Then again I’m going Navy we may hear at different times.

    I always thought they did all offers at the same time in order to not give one service an advantage over the others.

    I know one lad who got an offer there for the Army but it was in his spam folder for some reason.

    Delay taking longer than expected I suppose so might be sending offers out with administration coming in. There might not be any candidates accepted to both branches so it wouldn’t make a difference in terms of advantage in that scenario

    Did your email say what date your offer has to be accepted by?

    Yeah it was the 1st, but apparently there's a big delay in sending out offers still so I'd guess it's changed from that!

    When the medical takes place depends on the branch you are applying for as well like the Navy do their full medicals at the group assessment stage so they don’t have a second medical. First medical for army is bloods taken at interview and then if you pass interview you get a second medical date.

    Perfect thank you! And how soon after your interview is the second medical?

    Roughly 3 weeks from what I’ve heard. I’m going for navy and was all set but from people in the army process it was around that time

    Fitness and assessment was the last week of June, Interview was the second week of July and the Medical was the last week of July. So all of it was done in a month. This obviously depends on the candidate.

    Did they give you a timeframe for when they would have it sorted?

    The wait must be killing you!

    Aww that’s fair enough. They told me I’ve to wait until the first round of offers are out before I will be contacted. The wait will be the death of me. Hopefully intake is a bit later this year.

    Oh ok yeah I guess some first round offers are still delayed. There are certainly some people who may have had to pull out because of the wait especially amongst leaving cert applicants.

    They sure are and for that reason so many recruits and potential cadets have left to find other things to do. It’s a shame that an organization of this magnitude still cannot handle the processes any faster, but I do give respect to the three gentlemen over at J1 who are doing an extraordinary job.
