this forum has really dried up, it would make you wonder is there many people out there left waiting from the 2019 campaign, hopefully they haven't enough to fill the 300 more spots, and we all get our shot this year

We're all still floating around, just with no communication from HRM I guess there's nothing to contribute to the forum in regards to any info. Still waiting on a pct and medical. My vetting is cleared so if I pass the next 2 stages hopefully a green light from the commissioner then an offer soon after.

The communication has been very disappointing to say the least.

I wonder what the plan is for the July intake. Do they have enough people on standby with every box ticked? The majority of people left still seem to have something left to complete.

You’re lucky to have the vetting completed , Have you any idea when pcts or medicals will be ? Surely they have to be soon

That's great your vetting is complete. How did you go about getting that information?

Agreed. Probably with no substantial communication from HR everyone is deflated. I feel my application is 16 months behind. I’m from 2019 and have only PCT and medical to complete. 25 months since I applied, think my head space has moved on. Not sure if anyone else has.

Having read back through years of this forum now, there has regularly people who shared that sentiment for sure.

There could well be offers sent out for the July intake, or they're at least short listed. Keep in mind a lot of people in the process wont be on boards, so you wont hear about it.

There are one or two people in the current intake that were contacted to say they are top of the list for the July intake, and as such they would be first in line if anyone was to turn down an offer for this intake. As such, this did happen, and they're now on the current intake rather than waiting for July. They were notified on the 14th of May that they would be starting on the 24th.

If things go the same way as the current intake, you wont hear anything until about 6 - 7 weeks out from the start date of the intake. If you had the emails asking are you still interested and to do the medical self declaration, then you're almost there.

If not, don't lose hope, there's still time yet.

Got got the email. There is a covid screening attached to it.

Purgatory123

Ya Covid screening attached and you need a note or screenshot on your phone from your doctor saying you can take part. I had my fitness test cancelled last April. Not sure of my oom tbh

Great news, these starting back up, even on a small scale is a big step. Congrats lads.

Great news everyone, all the best go in and smash it!

Anyone know if there is any chance of rescheduling the fitness test? Got my date for the 6th but don't feel completely ready at the moment, definitely let the ball slip a little over the lockdowns.

Don’t worry I doubt they could email everyone at once I didn’t get one either but still hopeful I’ll hear something over the next few weeks plenty spaces to be filled throughout the year

This time last year i was flying it fitness wise nearly getting level 10 on the beep, kinda slacked off a bit since after Christmas and can now only manage about 8.10 there or there abouts!!! Lets start again lads!

Makes sense they would be doing this in small numbers, certainly to begin with.

Do they adjust the push pull to your height?

No it’s the same height for everyone

Position your legs (one forward, one back) to generate power and use your whole upper body to push it forward and pull it back. Don’t rely on just your arms to do it.

This may be a silly question so sorry in advance. Does anyone know if you can change your shoes after the bleep test? I've good running shoes but would need something flatter for the obstacle course

Yeh there’s at least a good 1 hour gap between then.

I’m from 2019 and have passed everything up to the medical. I failed the medical on 18th December 2019 and tried to fight it but the pandemic paused everything for me so I just gave up. I received an email from Occ Health on May 17th saying I was now deemed medically fit and have been told Appointments will be in contact with me. Anyone else in same/similar position or situation?
