Congrats Beca, hopefully a few more boardies will be joining you and have just not made it on here yet to tell everyone!

urbantiger

Got a call this morning too.
Total disbelief at the minute, don't think its sunk in yet!

Delancey

Great news urbantiger - for a while there it looked like Becca was on her own

urbantiger

Thanks mate, I'm sure we'll here a few more success stories when everyone manages to get home!

1986j

I really really hope I get in ASAP

urbantiger

Fingers crossed for you 1986j

1986j

Thanks for kind words and well wishes.

My merit score is not the best but everything passed and I got the 'Progressing letter don't contact us we will contact you' letter. Now I will be hoping like mad tomorrow. If nothing tomorrow I will TRY to forget until Feb if there is one. After that not too optimistic.

urbantiger

Well people with merit scores higher than me had been accepted into the last intake so there is still every chance.
I think having your vetting and medical cleared are more important than your merit score?

B182

hate reading these now I will be like yourself 1986j thinking about this I checked last time calls went out and vetting was ongoing don't want to ring them And bother them

Congrats to you both hopefully more boardies get the call I feel bad for the dec intake if they're doing drills outside in this weather

It is so frustrating. I am literaly constantly thinking about this.

My letter was promising but nothing is guarenteed at all. the longer I have to wait the less chance I have.

What was your merit score Utiger if you dont mind me asking?

urbantiger

Hi Kizwiz, don't mind at all.
It was lower than 50 and I'm an NRC.
I panicked a little bit when people with higher numbers started getting in, I thought something had gone wrong with my vetting.

Gee-22

Congrats to all those who received the call. Very jealous

The silver linning for the rest of us, is the fact it moves us all up the list for future intakes.

dm25

I am also in .... I feel like I'm dreaming!!

Shield

Well done beca! Who's going to maintain the list now? :pac:

Congrats to all others who are also in this January's intake.

wanadrum

congratulations dm25 (and urbantiger).
dm25 - do you mind telling us your vital stats?
Thanks

dm25

vital stats? sorry but I am not really on here that often.

wanadrum

merit placing, ac score, community background, ist score.....

You know....hips , waist , boobs , etc

Only kidding of course . Vital Stats basically means merit placement ( approximate that is ) and community background ( if that person wishes to disclose it ).
Most people here realise that at this point merit score is not the big deal - the important thing now is to have passed medical and vetting.

dm25

haha ok well I can tell you my ac score was 63, although was lucky to get that far after first receiving a letter to say I failed the app test..but then another a week later to say they were taking everyone with my score...almost seems like it was meant to be I got a letter to say I passed my medical only a few days after...i didn't hear anything about vetting but assume after my phone call yesterday that was ok!! ohhh and I'm a Protestant, Female.

its all so exciting, its been my dream since I was 16...I'm now going into work to hand in my notice!!

spartagus

Just got the call about an hour ago. Can't believe it, don't think it has sunk in yet.

My merit listing was 60 - 90, NRC

Kizwiz

I just got the call!! :D

newboarder

Well done guy's!

Im sitting by my phone urging it to ring:mad:

erneboy

luckyb123

wot was your ac score erneboy?

1986j

Congrats to all.

I am very jealous and was hoping I would get the call this month. Hopefully get one next month if there is a Feb intake. Hope they exhaust this campaign like they have been doing for other ones and I get in.

harrijack

Congrats to everyone who's in, very well done. Still waiting on medical appeal, will hopefully find out soon, but won't be in this intake, roll on next month!!!

Gawa

I was wondering who wouldn't get the call but come home ( or get up ) to a big brown envelope. Congratulations 182.

1986j

It still seems quite high up the RC list again. With a RC approx 350ish last month I had hoped I had a chance. Lets hope there are 10 more intakes from this campaign lol

gigity gigity

Congrats to all who got the job.
1986j what is your merit number roughly?

1986j

700-720

Failed so hard on one part of written test and one role play. rest i was happy enough with.

gigity gigity

Your still way above me, im around 840-860.
Passed everything but personally dont think I will hear anything unless 50-50 is continued after march. Would be handy if there were two merit lists, at least I would know exactly where I stand.

1986j

What letter did you get at the end of Oct?

What was the jist of it?
