C15 Waitin' on the call!

Russler

Hi

Thought I'd start a new thread for all those who have passed the medical and are waiting on the merit list/call for the March 2009 campaign.

I got my medical pass letter yesterday so can't wait now until the end of September to find out my merit place and them settle in for the 'long wait' for a call:)

theres already a waiting room

I know mate .

Was trying to sort out the new campaign 'waiters' from the guy's from the previous campaigns as it all gets a bit confusing around here:rolleyes:

When I first came on here and saw people talking about October intake I near shat meself! I thought fook me that's quick til I discovered they were from last years campaign:rolleyes:

Just wanna try and make it easy for us March 2009 newbies to find out what the heck is going on in PSNI recruitment land!

only jesting ya matey, you'll make us c14ers feel left out though!

Good idea to have a separate section for c15 - it's all a bit unwieldy and to be honest I find solid information hard to find.
You can always ask but that just generates more replies

Will we find out merit places in September though? I assumed it would be November before everyone was marked and Deloitte sent out the results/merit scores?

Yeah, everyone is talking September, but Deloitte clearly said November. Hoping for an envelope on the 1st of September is asking for a whole lot of pain I think, so I'm not even going to consider it arriving any earlier than November.

And I think everyone, including myself, needs to take a tall glass of chill the hell out. There seems to be no order or pattern to the whole process. If you haven't received a pass letter or vetting forms or a medical yet or any strange and unique combination of the fore mentioned don't panic, you haven't received a dear John either. I now have this image in my head of a couple of old crusty teacher/examiners locked in a room and someone just coming in and dumping another random pile of applications on the towering unordered pile surrounding them.

cduck out...
...and sipping on my own tall glass as I do

merit list is out in september i think. it doesnt get posted out to you though, i think you have to phone. november is when you'll receive your detailed feeback from the AC, this will give you a breakdown of each roleplay etc and a score aswell overall. handy to have and to bear in mind for the next campaign you go through

Thanks mate....I found it really confusing when I first came on here as there are so many campaigns and intake dates and some people are waiting word from last year and this year:eek:

Hope to hear about more people who've passed everything and are waiting for the call also:D

Also to let you know I called recruitment branch on Tuesday and they said Doilette wouldn't be sending the merit list to them until late September. We get the AC feedback in October/November and the first intake is December/January (according to the Doilette website anyway).

I'm sure there's a logic to the process and maybe someday we'll find it out. Whatever it is though, you can bet that all of our guesses are wrong.

D'ya recon once the 50/50 stops this whole process will be more straight forward?!

it is impossible to know, its a guessing game! its difficult to say unless it comes from the horses mouth and the horse is just not talking!!!!!! would be nice though.

Hi all,

I have finally found somewhere where there are people in the same boat as me. I was the same as others when I saw October I was thinking this must be wrong. At least now I have a like minded group to whinge to when this takes too long.

rollinstone

Yup its a long assed wait however don't forget we all started this on the 5th of March so we've been waiting and doing now for the guts of nearly 6 months already, whats a few more months of tedious waiting, best thing for it is just to go on like nothing is happening and then you kind of forget about it and then booom phonecall * you have recieved a training place....... * and the rest will be gucci history

Russler

I'm guessing this thread will get a whole lot busier come the end of September when we know our merit socore placings;)

Until then I'll just have to sit tight with my bum hole going like this - o O o O o O o O - in nervous anticipation:D

New to this whole game. I just called Recruiting. The merit list is not complete as yet but will be available end of September. Merit placings will not be posted out. You will need to call them to find it out.

Shoot - I'm away until 03 Oct and will prob not have access to a phone. I guess I will have to call first thing Mon 05 Oct. Still I guess that means I have only just over 3 weeks to wait. And then probably another 12 months at least (if I'm even luck enough to get a good placing).

Good luck to you all.

I must have the patience of a saint! hehe I have been waiting for 2007. everything is done but my vetting! So if you are out there, and like me, you are not alone, and if you haven't been waiting for almost 3 years, relax. it will come. It takes a long time, its serious stuff, and they need to do there research on us I guess. I thought about applying again, but I was assured that it was not required, and that your place it held until your vetting is finished. Do any of you lads or lasses have any words of encouragement for little old me? haha. What can we do but get on with things until we get a call or a letter? nose to the grindstone I suppose. Thinking this could be my last year as a civilian and wondering what next year could bring sure brings a smile to my face.

Apparently they don't. I'm just looking for a little input. It's not cruel but maybe a bit rude. Just want to talk to people like-minded, and equally frustrated. Its tough when you are playing the waiting game. And for me its been a while.

I doubt Slave-to-Sound is trying to be rude (or cruel for that matter). I too wouldve expected campaign 13 to be wrapped up by now. That appears not to be the case however. Call up recruitment and rattle someones cage. They should be able to give you some kind of answer.

I'm sure it's been covered somewhere, but how will I find out my merit score (this week hopefully!)?

Also when will we know what merit score will get us into GV for non-RC and RC?

Thanks

Campaign 13 was held over 2 years ago.
What on earth makes you think they would still be offering places to people from that campaign?

440 places for that year, just like all the rest.....

You should really phone if you honestly still believe you're still in the running.

You wont unless you phone recruitment.

You wont be told. Unless you know how many are in the merit pool, and how many from each community background you wont know. In other words, you'll have to guess based on word of mouth, friends who find out their merit placing and get offered before you etc.
(at least thats how it used to be done)

IM not being rude just honestly surprised that they are still ongoing with that campaign, as I haven't heard of anyone else in same position and C14 is all but wrapped up bar 2-3 more intakes.

Anyway I would give them a ring and let us all know how you get on. Good Luck:)

If his vetting is still ongoing then it stands to reason that he still has a place. As I recall from C13, medicals and vetting were only really carried out for those who were going to be offered a place.

From watching this forum for nearly two years now and from speaking to others in my squad when I was in G'ville, you will probably be ok if you are a catholic with a score 800 or less. Considering its 50% catholic then 50% other its pretty much a given that if you are in the "other" bracket then you need a much better score
