    I was thinking of going down on the Thursday but looking unlikely though.

    Thanks for the tip re: ID for inspection at the gate. I will be as of now driving there on the Friday morning aswell. It would be an early start but more practical for me right now.
    Circumstances could change though.

    As soon as the next intake comes around, provided your in that. If you give them a ring they'll be able to tell you if you'll make the next intake or not. probably not as the invitation were given out early this month. you never know though, people could drop out but its unlikly.

    Absolutely outstanding! Now that the initial week-end is over I just can’t wait to return for phase 3 :)

    From the moment that I arrived to the very last minute before when I left, it was welcoming and comfortable. Everyone in your group is feeling the same as yourself and everyone just bonds. It’s just such a memorable time and please God everything now will continue to run as smooth and successful! ;);):)

    Ah it was 40people approx, great bunch I must say. You arrive knowing nobody and you are CERTAIN to know SOMETHING about the people around you by the time you leave :D

    I cannot emphasis enough to importance of just getting stuck in and getting to know the people around you, it truly does build a fantastic team-spirit.

    And is phase 2 on twice a week or just once?

    Phase 1: Finishes Saturday between 5 /6pm..
    Phase 2: It depends on the station in question, Our station will start doing it twice a week - it will be a group decision and Sergeants say.
