Oh so when you get into training its not full suit all the time like black pants shoes shirt and nice jumper is fine? Sound for the reply

Swimming shorts be grand. You don't need the tight ones. They aren't as strict. Not holiday yolks now with flowers and mad designs on them. Plain navy or black will do the job.

Well yea, trousers and shoes, shirt and that. You wouldn't need a blazer all the time. A jumper would do you. No jeans and cons you know

I no somebody who started in the college in Nov and until they got uniform it was a suit all the time. Trousers shoes shirt and tie, obviously you don't wear a suit jacket all day. And college tracksuit when doing practical stuff. Nobody got away with wearing jumpers over shirts.

I' down for induction week on the 29th of March. Just wondering if the room we are assigned for that week is our room for the whole 32 weeks or will someone else be in it for the second week of induction starting the 4th of April? Just want to know if I can bring all my stuff down for the duration of the course with me that week or not....
Thanks.

You will get your room key on the day of induction and that will be your room. But generally you get moved to residential houses in the area to make way for new intakes so won't be living in the college itself for the full 32 weeks.

Don't no why your tracking down first cousins because it does not ask for that only aunties and uncles.

Info pack States, Up to and including first cousins.

Are you talking about initial form for interview?

Guys, Is there anything extra a serving Reserve needs to do before induction day? Like do we have to discharge ourselves from the force beforehand or anything of the like? no mention of it in the induction pack.

Also I assume I have to fork out on a suit instead of just wearing my uniform.

No the Background check form.

I'm speaking of the information we have to provide during induction week, The background form that was submitted prior to interview only went as far as aunts or uncles
