    From what i read if they feel you are suitable (whatever the criteria is) they still give you the chance even if you opted out on your original application!!

    I think you're right about that. If you do really well they inform you of such. Although I have heard that the scheme isn't currently running?!? However, I would guess you'd need top 50 (or maybe less) to be considered.

    No and I've lost the lid to that can of worms :D Just either read it or was told it during my app. Never got a pack myself either so it must be suspended :p

    this question may be stupid but ill ask anyway,our info pack says we arent allowed to wear any branded clothing (logos etc)the pe kit however doesnt include trainers, i assume there are sport shops that sell good quality trainers with no brand name, im by no means someone who goes for branded goods only but i cant remember ever buying plain trainers

    I think it means no logos referring to sports teams on clothing, trainers are ok whatever they are I think. I am bringing my ascics with me and some adidas and nike stuff for the gym and when im not in uniform, cant see it being a problem

    I would probably agree with that. I can't imagine that they'd complain about a manufacturers logo on a pair of trainers.

    Don't worry about branded trainers, they are fine..I wear branded trainers..

    They are really fussy about branded sports-wear, you have to buy a PE kit at a really extortionate price, but bring plain unbranded black shorts and tracksuit bottoms incase your gear isn't there..

    in the evening when not training can you wear for example a t shirt with diesel or superdry or something like that on it, I dont think I have a single item on clothing with nothing written on it

    I would not want to do it either, i want to have a hands on role in the police by being out and responding to emergency calls and dealing with everyday problems, I would not like the idea of sitting in an office all day and doing interviews for UTV.

    Ive sorted all my stuff out....I have the big black bag full of stuff that aint used ie Skidlid, extra jumpers, boiler suit etc. I keep this in the car (take it out at night and put it back in, in the morning. God forbid your car gets nicked, then your in deep poo poo). Then all other stuff is in the locker. Did you get a locker yet. If so where are ya?
    Im revisin at the mo, and I would advise you to get stuck into it now. Some guys wait until the last minute to revise, buts its not advised.
    Exams next week :eek:
    cant wait to get em done, if I pass them, then im hopefull for the next batch.

    wanalaugh

    Just wee question on the definitions test. Did I hear right that it is a fill in the gaps type test, pretty much all gaps with the odd wee or, and, the added in here and there. basically how many words do you have to fill in per definition.

    Believe it or not, have certain words put in on the defs can throw you out a little. But make sure you learn them word for word...

    New recruit, were you in the army before?

    Hi all

    I was wondering if anybody could confirm what i have heard with reference to annual leave following completion of your training. Either sombody told me or i have read it somwhere (apologies if the answer to my question has already been posted here). Once you have completed your training is there any set time period before you can take leave ? Also if you have already booked a holiday and then receive the all important phone call, i assume that is tough luck - no holiday and no deferral available?

    Rgds
