    You will be fine! just keep with the running and where heavy clothing to sweat as much as possible while jogging. Go to the sauna the day before your medical if you can to shed some more weight, and most importantly dont eat anything before your medical! do all of this you should be fine :) Ive experience in cutting weight from boxing, it aint nice but it will pay off :) dont defer your medical just train hard and cut the weight, sweat is only fat crying :D

    Haha tnks AGS i have been wanting and waiting for this for too long just to fuc* it up at the last bit. i just wonder how exact are they in measuring your BMI?
    Your medical in middle of May loads of time, this something you want you will get it just keep doing what your doing jogging, don't delay it go for it you should be fine I have seen some reserves some are Big they obv had no problem. If you don't mind me asking how long roughly had it taking you to get to the medical. After ur interview with Super. :-)

    My Background checks started the end of January and I had 9 in total on them and of the 9 I think 4 had come to the attention of guards but I'm not in contact with any of them. So bit annoying it can hold you up.

    I'm sure it is different for every individual but in my case - Medical last week, Templemore tomorrow. So could work.

    Hey just wondering how you got on in phase 1 in the end ? Any information they gave out or about next intakes and any changes or things like that? What was it like for the 2 days up there?

    Had my final interview the other day. Went well and he said he's happy to recommend me. The only downside is he said the Guards won't be recruiting full time until 2015...

    Does anybody have any idea of when the next intake for phase is planned. I have my medical the 7th of June, Wondering would I be waiting long after that provided I do pass. Was there many in waiting with you when getting your medical checks complete??

    i might drop them an e-mail tomorrow, they did say it would be friday or monday but that it depends on how fast they get files from the medical over to them.

    smiley it can be a long wait from handing in the br form. I was 13 months from handing the form in to meeting the super, then just under 3 months till the medical. you just have to be patient!

    hey cozzy66, i've been called down for 14th of June, i have no idea if you would be called for the same being as its so close to your medical. they did tell us that they like to give at least a months notice even though we were just inside the month. best of luck with the medical!

    Passed my medical a few weeks ago now. Do you get any confirmation email or letter to say so? Or is all you hear from the doctor telling you that you have passed?? Also anyone hear or know of when the next intake to training is?

    Ring Hq and find out, they will send you an email when the next intake is. its in September by the way so you will be waiting.
