I was speaking to a guy who got the May intake and he said there was a whatsapp group going with people who did and didn’t get a May offer, just wondering if it’s still going

Oh very good, I havnt seen anyone with a group msg for the next round of offers but if there is one going after the Weekend, it would be great to get involved.

Hi all. Just wondering how strict are they on the beep test? I am 35 and it doesnt really seam fair to have the same level as someone who is 25 🙄🀔
Will they be gentle and put me in the "esier" age groop from 36? Thanks

Happy out overall, wasn’t as bad as I had it built up in my head. Enjoyed the day to be fair & everyone was sound.

Got there for 1345, temp check then straight in for Beep test, 10 mins break then sit ups straight into push ups ( sit-ups are handy cause you have a bar to put your feet under) then about an hours break and into the obstacle coarse and straight to the push pull - Out the gap for 1600

Do they tell you there and then if you pass? I know you’d have a fair idea yourself anyway but just wondering if they actually tell you?

Yeah they stop you when you reach your beep test level, sit ups and push ups are fairly obvious & they tell you the time you completed the obstacle course in and the force generated on the push pull.

What were sit ups like was it hands behind your head or what only thing I’m struggling on ?

Fingers on your temples, knees 90 degrees and elbows to knees. Keep your chin tucked to your chest in you are not already it helps alot.

You’ll be grand. Tighten your core and use the bar, concentrate on your form and don’t take your hands off your head or they won’t count the rep. if your struggling the mats are quite thick and spongy so don’t be afraid to hop yourself off them and use the momentum to get you back up in the later reps. Adrenaline will get you the rest of the way.

You already are in an easier group your target is lower

Triplek

With pcts underway, and an intake happening soon. Does anyone want to start a group chat for the next round of offers.

If your vetting is in final checks and you have everything else done would getting called in July be a possibility?

I would say most definitely July would be looking very likely.

Do ye think vetting is back if your PCT and super meeting is done?

Not necessarily, those are separate parts of the process.
