    JUST got called for a medical next monday :D do you think il get it now or do they call extra ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 936 ✭✭✭bassey


    As long as you're not colour blind the medical should be no problem. Just don't do any drugs this week. I'd say they probably call a few more than they're going to take on.

    I joined in 1983 and they sent me info on applications for 1982.
    In 1982 there were 142 positions and 14000 applicants.
    In 1983 the took on about 100 but don't know how many applicants, but these times we are in are like the 80's all over again.

    HI guys,
    Just wondering if anyone called for the medical from Sligo....:confused:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 565 ✭✭✭Gipo3


    Why?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12 Munster1985

    What was involved in the medical lad?? Did u just bring the 2 forms to the doc and give them to him?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12 Munster1985


    I just had the forms filled out and brought them with me. I even went to specsavers and got them to do the eye test and stamp the eyetest form. although not sure that you need to as theres an eyetest in the medical :confused:.

    as regards to the test its hearing eyesight blood pressure, movement in your arms and legs and checking for back pain. they listen to your chest as well. drink some water before you go in too you've got to give a urine sample.

    best stay off the drink and the fags for a day or two before you go

    as long as your in fairly average health should be fine. best of luck with it anyway lad

    Hopefully have it anyway. I reckon they wouldnt pay for a medical unless they were going to take you on.
