    Hi Gals

    Just thought we might benefit from a Girls Only thread. After all we are currently representing only 22% or thereabouts of the total PSNI service at the moment, though they are aiming to get this up to 25%, the highest of any force in the UK (Yay!)

    So for a gals perspective on all things PSNI, be it the recruitment process, or perhaps you're already in Garnerville training, or just gal chat, lets post it here and leave the testosterone out of it!

    "Remember, Ginger Rodgers did everything that Fred Astaire did but she did it backwards and in high heels!!!!"

    LOL Decided to keep it clean as PSNI would proably crack up and delete our little girly thread!!

    Anyway, how did you find your AC? How long did it last? How many were there as well - they seem to be quite small groups too - were there many girls?

    Mine just under four weeks away, cant wait to get it over with! Nervous but kind of excited too!!:p

    Is this your first time applying?

    Will I ever stop asking questions????? LOL :D

    LOL.:D

    My AC wasn't too bad, i definately think I got better as I went along, i.e. the first roleplay was my worst as your not exactly sure what to expect when you walk in that room.

    There was only 8 of us there, 4 ladies & 4 guys funny enough.

    I know what you mean, i was nervous in the run up, but on the actual day i relaxed as the process went on, plus the consensia people who "check you in" were really nice which helps!

    I've done the IST 3 times, missed it by 1 mark my 1st attempt, then by a couple of marks on my 2nd. So glad to have got a bit further this time, and if i don't do well in Medical or merit pool at least i'll know what to expect next time.

    Good luck with yours!! and serioualy asking questions is the best way!!!

    This is my first time applying, initally failed the IST by 2! Then got the reprieve letter from Consensia so mega chuffed.

    I am dreading the roleplays most I think. Does the time fly in or drag in them? I will be sweating buckets and shaking like a leaf most likely!!

    They do seem like quite small groups for the AC so hopefully it should whizz by with not too much time waiting around for the head to pickle!

    Were all the girls there smartly dressed? I think you'd feel crap if you rolled up mega casual and everyone else was in their Sunday best LOL
    Anyway after its over I will be out the door and head first into the nearest bar for a very large G&T!!!

    Lets hope third times the charm for you!!!!!


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,006 ✭✭✭PapaYankeeGirl


    The P to the Y to the G is in the house!!!!!

    To all the girlies waitin to do the AC you can ask me anythin (within reason:P)

    9 days till i get my results:)

    WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

    MGH- are you the moderator of this thread then? or is it PSNI!!!! Im guessing PSNI is a guy so he probably wont be about much on this thread!!!!! He is prob glad to get an end to- "shall i wear heels to the AC or will my feet get sore" :D:D

  • Registered Users Posts: 2,012 ✭✭✭MrsGeneHunt

    His TSG group are the reds so roses are red and therefore the tangi is now known as rosie!!!! He was doing a special operation a while ago and the crew were the Jades so that where that tangi's name came from!!!! He hates it if i called a tangi a riot van:mad:

    You know that song i know you do!!! THINK!!!!!!! tick tock tick tock

    Im heading out soon to see what i can see. Iv been told im really nosey!!!!! Im like SO!!!!!

    Ps- all vehicles are girls so get trevor out of your blonde, man filled, police filled, garnerville filled, wine filled head hun:D:):p


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 256 ✭✭,8,1


    Men and manginas are two different entities actually.

    A man is one who has retained his masculinity even in this Matriarchal society that we now inhabit; a mangina is one who has thrown it in an attempt to support the feminist revolution.

    While there are an excessive number of manginas in the Western world, I would wager to say that most male applicants for the police force would not be of this regressive disposition.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 37,215 ✭✭✭✭Dudess


    ,8,1: do you rub your hands with glee when women get the sh1t get kicked out of them by their husbands/partners? Seeing as you hate women so much...

    You dont get out much do you?

    Thanks Dudess. Nice to see that some of us still have A SENSE OF HUMOUR.

    Which, FYI, as a female police officer in a male dominated workplace will be fecking useful.

    Thanks! I really want this... don't we all!!! I thought the roleplays went in quickly, and it's fine if your resolve the problem before the 5mins are up! I reckon after your 1st one you'll feel more confident about what to expect for the next 2 and you'll do great!

    Yeah i was surprised it was only 8 of us, i started at 9am and was out by 12 so there isn't too much waiting around, any time i did have, i just read over the green sheet to remind myself of the competancies - not sure if they sank in or not though!

    I agree about dressing for an interview, I went in all black, heels included. 2 of the other girls were dressed smart and one was in jeans. I also opted for natural makeup and didnt' wear much bling! :D

    Seeing as it's in a hotel you should be able to get that G&T easy enough!! :D

    I would quite a smallish group and in and out quickly!!! I am near the very end of the AC run so think it most likely will be. But you never can tell!!!

    Bought a cracking trouser suit and killer heels so will deffo LOOK the part...whether I can pull it off on the day remains to be seen!!!

    Cant believe someone turned up in jeans - seriously, basically its an interview for a job where the uniform is paramount - why wouldnt you demonstrate you can be well turned out?!!

    Have already made arrangements with a mate for a liquid lunch afterwards in the Kitchen Bar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL And maybe some shopping as a reward;)

    No sleep night before + g&t on empty stomach = pished by 3 oclock!!!!!!!!

    Dunnes do great sports bras at decent money! M&S do too but more expensive.

    They keep my 36c's in check whilst on the treadmill!!!

    Jaysus, I used to be a FAT girl, and the boobs were 40D - can you imagine me trying to run with those.....:eek:
    Black eyes all round - there wouldnt be a sports bra in the world that could contain those puppies!!!!!!!

    So glad I've lost 6 stone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D

    OMG!! :eek:

    That is amazing, 6 stone? Wow. That's something to be really proud of, go you!

    I'm an abnormal 34F at present :((eaten too may pies, would normally be a 34E) so that's why i'm worried, I haven't been to the gym in 6 months, since I moved back to N.Ire from a short stay in England so unfit at the mo.
    I've got a membership all arranged to start 1st August, the gym is being renovated.

    Cheers for the advice on bras! I hear they really beast ya in G'ville!

    oh and i agree, uniform is paramount - jeans @ AC is a bad look!

    P.s. I cant believe you lost 6 stone, you are amazing.

    Yeah six stone and counting, still another stone and a half to come off. Long story but needless to say very happy now without the fat lying cheating scumbag!!!!!!!!! :D

    And yes, they do kick ass in the PT in GV. The fitter you go in the better IMHO!

    I go to the gym and have a personal trainer who is awesome. Never ever in a million years thought that a) I would have lost the weight ( heartbroken helps enormously but I wouldnt recommend it!) and that b) I could do weights and train the way I do now!

    But feel so much better for it and that I have got my life back! I always wanted to be a cop, applied for the RUC at 18 but got turned down and told to come back when I was 21 - but by that time I was with the now ex, and the rest is history. He thought that everyone who became a peeler only did cos they were too stupid to do anything else. What a wan**er. Thank the lord he's history and some other homewrecking sluts problem now!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    So this is me, going after everything I ever wanted!!!:P

    Aint nothing keeping this gal down now!!!!!!!!

    :cool:
