    Emailed HR to ask about vetting, got the response "awaiting final decision by senior management", does this mean vetting is done for anyone who has been through the process. TIA.

    Yeh I would take it the vetting is complete and waiting for the commissioners office approval. Could be wrong though.

    Ye they ask for name and number. Tbh dont think they follow up with gp unless you disclose a medical problem etc. I'd put your current one down

    Got a call yesterday evening to arrange meeting with local Superintendent for next week.

    The line was quite poor and the cal took me by surprise but was certain that the person I spoke to mentioned that she sent me an email about it but have trawled through spam folders and no sign.

    Did anyone get a mail about meeting the Superintendent or was it just a call out of the blue?

    I wore brown shoes, navy suit and a light blue tie, I passed.

    Match the belt and shoes (same colour, same shade), darker brown or black would probably suit best - looks more formal.

    Please don't spend loads of money on matching shoes and belt etc. No disrespect to the last poster but it's completely unnecessary. Brown or black shoes are fine, no jeans. Just make sure you look smart and presentable, have a strong handshake, hold your head up and be sure and assertive in your answers. Good luck!

    I'm almost the same weight as you, just few inches shorter. How did you train for the beep test? I'm struggling with that alot. Thanks for any advice.

    The beep test is on spotify so you can get it there. As someone else said on this thread. Start with a distance of 17 metres apart then move it to 18 and so on until you can do 20m comfortably.

    On the day its not as bad as it seems. It goes quick and with the adrenaline going once ya get started you'll fly through it. What level do you need to get to

    You should try cutting carbs and doing keto for a few days to lose water weight.

    Theres also a diet called the 3 day military diet. I've never done it but its supposed to be good at shedding weight quick. Its extreme and you'll put it back on after you stop but it might be an option to get over the line

    Nah, don't get too worried about that, it really does depend on person to person. I passed my PCT and Medical back in early December and didn't get a call to the Super until the first week in January.

    I need to get 8.1, which shouldn't be that difficult. I'm getting to around 7 atm, but will try do it your way with reducing distance a bit.
