    Did you have to submit your id again? I only submitted id and certs before the interview when they asked for it. Am I supposed to send something else in the meanwhile?

    yeah in the email they sent on July 1st about the vetting it asked for you to send your ID again to Garda HR to verify your date of birth. I did that the same day and received an email the next day July 2nd thanking me for sending it then July 3rd I got another email informing me of my PCT next Friday. I’m batch 2 as well if anyone is confused.

    Yea so I got a date there too. I initially sent an email separately to GardaHR with my photo ID and I wasn't getting any word back. I then sent another email replying to the original email that asked for photo ID and I got an email back with a date for the 13th of July less than an hour later. I guess if you want to hold off to prepare more you could delay sending photo ID but I'm pretty happy to go as soon as possible.

    Hey, just saw that you got an email back thanking you for sending your ID. I didn’t get that email back but I got a date for my fitness. Do you think I should email them and just clarify that they received it?

    I don’t think you would need to. Think they just happened to send me an email back. If you got your pct date then I would think everything is fine and they received it.

    I don’t think you need 20/20 to pass. I’d say good enough to drive legally without glasses (that’s a guess). I know when I got my license a few years ago my eyesight was just about good enough to not require glasses while driving.

    Squint and try hard to read the letters. Make the effort.

    They give you the option of getting laser eye surgery I think if your eyesight is inadequate.

    Yes you’re correct they do! I wear glasses for long distance, ok for driving though. If I fail the eyesight test I will get the laser eye surgery, crazy money though 🫠

    I would say the best way to prep is to do one every day or else 5 a week on top of slow long distance running to build your aerobic base eg. A 10k run at a very ease pace, I got laser eye surgery last month in cork it was 3600 paid monthly over 3 years not the worst to be honest my vision is better than 20/20 I would recommend anyone to do it so much easier than glasses and contacts

    The only positive is that you can claim tax relief if it's not covered by your private insurance if you have it.

    anyone know for the B form in the aunts/uncles section do you need to put down their spouse as well if they are no longer together but are technically married? Still waiting on my form but trying to gather the information before hand.

    The bleep test is fine, just take it slow at the start and it's a walk in the park!

    Having said that a few people did fail it when I did the test last week.

    Hey Guys! A little off topic, have the fitness on the 13th, does anyone know from past experiences after the fitness test if we are allowed showers etc? Have a family social event to go to afterwards is all.

    There's showers there in the changing room. Nobody used them from what I could see but I see no reason why you couldn't use them when you're finished.

    There were 3 groups of 7 when I was there last week. Started at 9, I'd say all the groups were done by just after 2. Then they take you over for drug testing and take a sample of your hair. I was on my way hone before 3. Some were gone earlier, some slightly later.
