Garda Trainee November 2017 intake

mutter_man

First there's so much info on here and plenty of conflicting info you just have to be careful not to get wound up. Also that person could have got that date some time ago. The dates for med and pct do seem to come in blocks on and off.

Oh and as long as your polite and not on every day etc should not be too bad.

Yeah i noticed that there is a lot of conflicting info. Thanks for that I appreciate your help.

Great idea to set this up. It gives us something to talk about and hope...if nothing else My OOM is early 600s and just waiting for physical and Sergeant and Super meeting.

Damo1988

got medically cleared last week after getting laser eye treatment. just waiting on the physical and meeting with the super. i was told that I'll likely be called in November. question for everyone really is that my contract at work runs out at the end of August and to be honest i'm sick to death of the place. would it look bad if i left after my contract expired and maybe done some travelling before November?

In the same boat as yourself
On a contract which says I'm required to give a few months notice lol

No it wouldn't look bad at all, look bad to who? The interview is done and dusted you aren't answerable to anybody
My two cents

Believe me I'd love to just hand in my notice in the morning and enjoy the next few months but obviously need the money!

Ah no I was just wondering i they found out that you walked out on a job if it would look bad

Your not really walking out, your contract is up with them.

Hi all, like Damo there I've only been cleared in the last two weeks after having Laser Eye surgery. My OOM is in the mid 100's from Sept 16 campaign, I've everything done bar the Pct at this stage. Is it safe enough to presume I'll be in the November intake? Also anybody know roughly speaking how much notice is given before the Physical?

hey Chris my oom is in the low 400s from sept 16. When I rang last week to find out if they had received my eyesight report I was told that I'm being looked at for November. Say you'd have a really good chance of being called.

Lads don't be going on what the super tells you. He told me May but my vetting still ongoing. Also people from the Jan 16 campaign if not already in would get preference if they haven't started yet

I hate to be sounding over cautious but assume nothing yet even with HRM staff saying positive things. The number of things that can change it on you are enough not to assume anything. I know from experience with a very similar situation to presume nothing. I certainly understand the desire to be free of a sh*t job and if its the right move by all means can it. But do not do so on the presumption you will have another in November. Only assume that when you actually have an email/ letter in your hand.

Sorry if I helped to rain on the parade but it would be negligent of me not to open my gob. That said you all sound like your well along in the process and I'm sure it will be over for yis soon. Hopefully we all have all elements done, vetting cleared and signed off by Commissioners office in time (Don't forget those last two are like pieces of string, no one seems to know how long they are).

Saving a small bit but can and should be saving more. Will be doing a nice bit of overtime now. I get paid monthly aswell which is a bit of a b@lls

Any one left from January 2016. Still waiting on file to get signed off. It's hard to understand the system.

We're all back here again :-P let's hope all nov 15 and Jan 16 get cleared out for this one. Best of luck to all for Nov campaign.
Dreams will be made and hearts will be broken. It's a long road ( majority of us know ) but to new campaigners, keep the faith. Well get there at some point :-D

To be honest I wouldn't be thinking your guaranteed for November. Sorry to burst your bubble but I was told I would be in line for may intake and yet, here I still am among others. Waiting 😣😣😣
But you'd never know. Ppl have been lucky and sailed through quickly, so your luck could be in or out

Assume you are on a rolling contract ? If so you will be a lot more clear on where you stand by the end of august and can then decide. If not, you are not walking out simply moving on after your contract is complete. Either way that's 7 weeks away and hopefully there will be movement and you will have have everything done and dusted by then

Might as well park myself here

Do u mins me asking when u did ure physical and are u part of the September 2016 batch!!!

damob1995

i wouldnt take your order of merit into account that much, vetting is the main thing that stands for you getting in, the sooner your vetting is complete the sooner your in, oom for the last few intakes are all over the place and it again backs my point about getting the vetting complete

alanmacklin

vetting completed and signed off a few weeks before the last offers so hoping for November. The blind waiting is the worst part id rather be told when im going in even if its next year so id have something to plan for.

damob1995

Your more then likely set for November so, just waiting for my physical and super/sergeant meetings hoping for november but again will all depend on my vetting

alanmacklin

i had my meeting with the super 3 weeks before my pct which was at the start of march. physical and super will be over quick enough. you should call about the vetting they can tell you when it was done if it is done.

damob1995

ya hoping to get the physical done before the end of august if that goes to plan aswell as getting vetting and signed off on time i might make it for november. are you jan 16?

alanmacklin

September 16

damob1995

same as myself still seems to be a few from jan left but seen if the last thread people from sept 16 got called a good few by the looks of it aswell so good hope for us, when i went down to templemore about a month ago one of the instructors was saying there was going to be another intake in september aswell not 100% about it but thats what they were saying

alanmacklin

i was told that there would be an intake in june when i done my pct. i dont think the half of them have a clue tbh.

damob1995

haha id say your right id say they were mixing september up with november
