Congrats CPN. Does seem kinda odd they've not given you a specific date... but u seem sure it is real so congrats!!
Seems quite early to be phoning for April, but they might have a good reason for calling you. Like I've said a million times... who the hell knows what's going on in their office!
Anyway, roll on the calls for more boardies now!!

got the call
I got the call today.
Then, because of a descrepancy in my address they have to re vet me. I cant believe it. Im absolutely gutted. I had to take a half day from work
is this to do with this? i remeber you said this before. well dun lad bet your well chuffed. do you know when the calls officially go out? i reckon around the first week march as like pyg ses the start date shud be 12th april. 6 weeks before this is about 2-3 weeks time!0 -

Well that sounds just like whoever it was who got a deferral to July. Congrats and I'll see ya in GV - probably holding a random door open for ya!!
And you needn't apologise for being cloak and dagger. We're all applying for the same job and understand confidentiality and the need for keeping information to oneself 0 -

Yea folks to be honest im over the moon. It is such a difficult process and I completly sympathise with everyone who is stuck in limbo land waiting for some concrete information.
The boards have been a real help and it will be good to be able to meet some of you in GV!
It must have been frustrating to have your call taken away from you for december. And to think it took a few months to vet just one address! My vetting is gonna take AGES
. Well done though cpn! 0 -

PSNI working 365 days a year..
Get used to working when everyone else is off guy's..If you can't handle that, this aint the job for you.
I wonder if it could have something to do with the next day being a statutory holiday, which they HAVE to give off or end up making it up at another time?
Or perhaps its to be sensistive to the religious beliefs of people who might find it highly inappropriate and offensive to be forced to work on one of the most important days in the christian calander?
There are good reasons for people asking that sort of question and it doesn't necessarily mean they're looking to join a job that 'aint for them' cos they don't wanna work it. I am quite sure people are well aware of the police working 365 days of the year
Just my 2 cents 0 -

*Snip*
Yeah ur right. I'm sure they'll force us to work all statutory holidays for the next 6 months and then be forced to give us them all off in the last 3 months of the year.
How could I have been so stupid? I'd better withdraw my place in GV right now...
You know what... I don't want to get into an argument on a sodding forum so you have your opinion and i'll have mine and let recruitment and the applicants decide who and who shouldn't be applying for this job; ur usually more helpful and constructive with your comments 0 -

You know what, whatever...
THAT's more like it! FFS what does it take to construct a proper argument.
All I wanted was for you to give us a sensible reason for why April would start on Easter Sunday and not just 'get another job'.
And for your information my entire family ARE seargents in PSNI so if I really wanted to discuss this I could do it with people who are far more qualified than yourself
Thanks for correcting me and now you mention it I believe that I remember their being clauses in legislation that do not include police within statutory holidays.
All I was hoping was that you might give potential April intakes some kind of definitive answer regarding when their start date is likely to be
EDIT: lol where'd ur post go...!! It was actually helpful unlike your first one!!0 -

It doesn't mean they need to rethink joining the PSNI - that would only be true if someone were refusing to work on certain days, don't you think?
Exactly what I was trying to say MBC thanks
The point is he is actually right about them starting the intake on Easter Sunday but the one useful piece of information he posted he then went and deleted 0 -

New Recruit wrote: »Police are fight Stoppers, not Fight starters.;)
LOL
Seriously I wasn't trying to start a fight. It's just I'm sure you can remember what it was like waiting to get in GV (I knew you have been through training and were a probationary constable btw) and I didn't think 'get another job' was very helpful to their stress levels
No harm intended 0 -
i wish carlty wasnt in the march intake as we could have got him to ring up for us and ask recruitment when the april start date is! oh well someone else'll have to do it. any takers? new recruit? cpn? downmtber? (also i no im a bit late on the name convo but i thought downmtber was short for Down Empty Beer and i thought u were a party animal)
Who says I'm not!!
Just for the record I believe New Recruit is right... his post I quoted that he deleted actually gave the facts as to why they most likely WILL begin the training on Easter Sunday. And I don't disagree with them. I just disagreed with telling someone who didn't know those facts (including myself until he reminded me) they should apply for another job 0 -

Makes little odds to me anyway I will no doubt be virtually waving everyone off from the sidelines while typing messages to myself on the board just so I don't feel so alone 0 -

I think it is time we change the subject and move on. Silly boys:)
What the hell does your user name mean DownMtBer, It has really always confused me.0 -
