My offer for this intake was withdrawn due to a change in circumstances which requires additional vetting. Fingers crossed for the next one.

Good luck next time mate, sorry to hear that! I ended up moving back home to my mums before I got the vetting forms just to make things easier! Complete nightmare being back home after 5 years tho!

Cheers, hopefully clears quickly enough and I get a call for Feb's intake!

Good to know the spots dont go to waste though.

Thanks

A personal message for all over the last few days (didn't think Christmas Cards would be appropriate); to all Staff, Sergeants, ACC Mark Hamilton (you have a very piercing stare, well done) and my fellow pre-student officers, have a Very Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year.

It was (nervously) fun and I hope to see you all shortly.

The clock is ticking, so let's get some use out of those January sales.

Not really done much

Been drunk the last 5 days

DesertCreat_15

Good man, i'd say you're fit for fúck all for the next few days now too ! hahaha

I'm rightly through it already. Nothing too heavy yet!

What would people think of having a whatsapp group going, or is it a bit silly ?

Obviously you'd need to prove you were at the induction weekend first of all.

I haven't written this much since 6th year haha. I'd be up for whatsapp, it will help keep us sane through all these topics! You started learning courtesy yet DC?

pb82

I've done some of the mandatory modules like bullying & harassment

Didn't see the point in trying to learn stuff I'd stand no chance of remembering

Just did all the knowledge checks from the pre entry course, must have retained a lot more information than I thought
