    Fun fact: your medical card number is on your birth certificate :)
    It's not on mine.

    Oh, perhaps I'm special lol

    I have my actual Medical Card from years ago and the number on it matches the number on my birth certificate. I may call the Doctors to double check then.

    My birth certificate is from many many many years ago so maybe it has changed. My medical number is different to the code on my birth certificate. But interesting to know.

    I agree about the running, although coming home like a drowned rat may have gave me the cold! Is everyone looking forward to meeting at the induction?

    Good luck to all in here, you'll be grand, the nerves are there to keep you on your toes. If you could take a sneaky head court at induction it would really help us lot waiting on the call. That's presuming it's before the FOI is answered. With the number of boardies in this intake I'm hoping we're up to larger intakes again. But who knows. Anyway, all the best and hopefully I'll see a few of you in GV in the not to distant future.

    No doubt about it, it's going to be a busy 23 weeks and beyond but I can't wait to get started :D

    Also really looking forward to getting started.
    I do have a healthy dose of nervousness which I'm sure will disappear when the uniform goes on :D
