Hey Paul Blog

billyhead

da_Flash,

What were the eyesight requirements for the medical?

da__flash

Hows things...... the vision requirments are as follow the vision standard required of a Garda reserve is not less than 6/18, 6/18 (correctable to 6/9, 6/12) unaided by glasses or contact lenses, with normal colour vision... what this basically means is you have to be able to read as far as the 3rd last line on an eyechart:D

billyhead

When you say correctable can you wear glasses during the test

Gravy

The Gravy

I've never experienced anything like it!

You don't know what real gravy is until you've had your meat, spuds, veggies, plate, tray, knife + fork, serviette etc smothered in it in tipp

can't wait to go back, I want to try it on the boiled egg next time:P

the gravy???
i dunno about the gravy or even the food there beacuse its a kind of scarce for the breakfast like. at least the shops are not too far away for a good roll and the chipper for dinner beacuse their dinner was at 1.30 like come on your starvin come 6 again. but i thought the training in the classes were very good. loved the selfdefence classes!!!! brilliant craic and great group down there last weekend.

paulbolg

i think there was something like 40 odd of us there i think someone else could give a proper figure. in the DMR district there is 20-23 of us and there 4 girls and in templemore i think there 12?? maybe a few more. but i can tell you the would beat any fella any day. great people there and you get to know alot more about them throughout the course and meeting up after the day. i suppose you could say people kind of form groups amongst themselves. cant wait until we go back down again. the only downer was the rooms itself. but once a bed was there that was all you wanted

the 6th of june was supposed to be the date going back but we were told that is changed because we were late going into templmore. i cant see us going back until end of june or beginning of july. thats what we were told in dublin. what is this info about the asp training letter or something???

da__flash

my god they are asking that!!! well you think they should kind of know???? ya he told me about last sunday 12 hours is a bit much like!! 3 hours is enough for us. o ya my best friend NOT :pac:. talk about a pain anyway we just carry on. by the sounds of it we dont get issued with the cuffs or baton on phase 3 when we out on the beat. i dont know how you feel about it but up here in dublin it would be a kind of risky like going out blindfolded. did you hear anything?

da__flash

ya sure i d be the exact same in town like it would very silly to send us out without them lik because we are there to "support" the full timers lik. . but apperently we get the wooden batton and the old handcuffs how true that is i dont no lik :pac: o we ll sort that pain when we go back up :cool: so any crack with you up there???
