Well Done, god you got the offer very fast. I’ve my medical next week hope I get an offer as quick as you ðŸ˜

Cheers came as a shock alright but I've heard rumours that they're struggling to fill intakes so I'd say provided your medical goes well you'll hear something

Anyone who did a medical on the 30th or 31st of May hear anything since?

I’m not confident at all for the medical, got laser surgery done but I’m a good be over on the BMI so I don’t think I’ll pass it!

I mean its a medical, so there isn't really anything you can do now, if you're worried about your BMI it's too late to change it now, if you get deferred then just work on it, it's simple as, anyone can get their BMI down if they want to and commit to it.

Other than that, just arrive in good time.

Did mine on the 29th and got an offer 2 days later so I'd say watch the space you should get one if you haven't already.

Quite possible, no guarantees. People have got offers with less notice in previous intakes as far as I'm aware.

Wouldn't say never as I heard people getting offers up until mid April for the April intake so you may have a chance. Best of luck to you anyway

Hi everyone

Congrats to all who have made it this far. I have a question if anyone could shine any light on it.

What exactly is discussed when you meet with the super and sergeant. Is it like a formal job interview or a relaxed chat and see how you react to certain questions?

It's was more of a chat in my experience, but everyone's experience is different, I don't think you can get a definitive answer.

Can you fail it ? If you have an adult caution and one or two minor incidents would it be enough for them to say you were not suitable ?

Finally got my date for fitness test..doing mine on the 5th July anyone else have that date ?

Frenchjoe87

this may sound like a daft question but does anyone know if for the sit up part of the fitness test if somebody will be leaning on your feet. reason i'm asking is that i am struggling big time with the sit ups but if i lock my feet under something i can do them all day, I know that its much easier if the feet are secured under something but if its not the case in the test than i need to drastically change my training routine to make sure i make the 30+ reps inside a minute

29.9 is pass.
I got 30.5 and they deferred me so I missed out by 0.6 and he wasn’t having any off it.
Back up for review September 12th

Hi All,

I’ve a question if anyone could help I’d really appreciate it. I completed a medical in June and was deferred on my BMI so I’ve to go back in September. Does anyone know what the process is? Do I contact them or will they contact me? I was told my date is the 12th of Sept the day of the medical, will I be doing the medical that day or will of be after that? If it’s after that do you get much extra time? Really appreciate the advise if anyone has been in this position.

Has everyone that done and passed the medical had their meeting with the local guard or is there people like myself still waiting to have the meeting
