    The sergeant I was talking to on the day of my medical said that if you passed your medical that your nearly guaranteed getting in this year.

    I did my medical on last Tuesday and he said that for the first platoon for Dundalk was full and there was 35 for the South.

    He also said there will definitely be at least 15 dropping out of each platoon so that's why they have in invited more than they need to the medicals.

    Also there is quite a few failing on colourblindnesss and the hearing test.

    35 for the south do you no where that is gone be based?

    no results from the med just an email of offer from them,my other buddy still has not heard anything and he done his med a few weeks ago so he is the same as yourself.and probably a lot more people.even if the navy gave ye something to hold on to like an email saying ye are on a fall out list or could be possibly starting in oct,at least then you could do something with that then.

    im starting in the navy reserves on sat the 16th of this month and then the med on the 2nd of sept for permanent.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40 Gazo66

    He said they will be training in Kilkenny.

    I'd say they will have the 40 for the 18th of August.

    I didn't get any word back since my medical. Does it mean I won't be training in Kilkenny If it's starting next week.

    You might get called up when some leave during the first 2 weeks.

    If you don't get called up I'd say your probably going to be in the next platoon at the start of October.

    Duno why you would havto do another medical.

    I think when your training starts, you do a fitness test to see where your fitness is at.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18 kcdc13


    Is it just casual clothes for the medical yeah?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 254 ✭✭killer91


    I just wore tracksuit bottoms and a t shirt and so did most of the other lads.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10 Shice


    I had my medical on the 24th of july still no word back a mate did his a week before me and he is starting next week the 18th

    No make sure to wear some sexy undies and your good to go lol

    I think people shoukd calm down a bit, different brigades are well behind eachother and apparantky if u were being rejected you'd have been told already.

    Keep the faith lads, believe and be positive.

    I've donr my medical in Dublin already so if anyone has any questions they can pm me or whatever.

    Regards.
