the 'one outstanding check' seems just to be a term they use til your application is fully processed and that. As its whats being told to most people who have the majority of the process complete.

Just remember the way sr, dont what you getting lost when your Chafuering( spelling) me down

Same here. Since March if i remember correctly. And two different people in HQ confirmed that Poland is done, so it's something here.

I tend do agree with Dr Mason, it could be anything.

A lot of people do that - I've done it twice myself, and passed the interview each time.

Wouldn't imagine this will not matter at all. If you fitted 3 scenarios into 1 box, you have a better way with words than me . I got it hard to fit 1 in but as the good doctor says just make sure you know all 12. There is a higher chance of being caught out on interview. Good luck

Thanks guys, only seeing these now, but I appreciate the answers. Feel a bit better now! I've been dreading the interview (even though I might not even get one) because of it.
Had the aptitude test this morning, it's pretty hard to know if you did well or not, but I think it went ok. Fingers crossed anyways, and good luck to anyone else in the same situation. Has anyone received their results yet?

Hi,

I was just wondering does anyone have info on what way they station people who are married with kids.Thinking of applying the next time around but the only thing putting me off is if I was to get ststioned to far away from home when qualified.

srdb20

Depending on your circumstances you can request to be stationed in a certain district although this is not a guarantee that you will get it!!!! it is completetly at there discretion!!!

tod1577

can you put in for a transfer after a certain amount of time

srdb20

Yup i think its after 2 years when you have finished your training

Hi guys,

Just wondering if anyone has information on the eyesight,are you tested on both eyes or is it your overall vision they test.

srdb20

Joker can fill you in there!!!

My chosen area of expertise is..............:D

You're tested on both individually, although it may appear you are tested on both together. (the machine seems to test one eye at a time, even though you're looking straight ahead with both eyes.

hey nelly84, that 265 is in order of merit, its how you compared to every one else in your batch. i came 150 or so places lower then you and got the 31st of july for my interview date. there is no dead line for the form but the quicker the better. if take a look here (<<<click) you will find a lot of good info on the form. anything else let me know:)
