TheBearcop

A place for all of us starting in Feb can’t wait to meet you all

RedPool2891

Looks like you're on your own, mate 😀

RedPool2891

So there I was, pottering about the house waiting for the kettle to boil...

...then the elusive call came! See you there, Bearcop!

It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas!!!

Brillaint, chuffed for you,
See you at induction

WittyName291

See you there folks

RedPool2891

Yes mate, well done!

MayDupname

Feels good to be posting in one of these threads. Well done guys. Was a long wait, but here we are!

RedPool2891

It still hasn't sunk in yet! It's annoying getting news like this and you can't really tell anyone!

pandabear97

See you all there!

CarrotCake1

Hey future friends 😊

RedPool2891

Congrats everyone! It'll be good to put faces to names

Jonarodgers

Got the call! Early Christmas and valentines present to myself 😂😂???

T213a

Hello everyone! Finally we got there!

CarrotCake1

So guys are we going to hold onto our Boards names in garnerville and it could be like were all starring in our own version of Top Gun??

RedPool2891

To be fair, callsign "CarrotCake" would be more suited to Hotshots than Top Gun! :P

CarrotCake1

Haha..you've got a point there RedPool! Maybe just stick with our normal names then! It's all seeming very surreal at the moment isn't it?

RedPool2891

Definitely - I don't think it will all sink in properly until the welcome pack arrives.

WittyName291

When do we think the welcome pack will arrive?

RedPool2891

I think from previous threads it's fairly prompt so certainly by the end of the week.

WittyName291

Next week maybe surely not this week??

RedPool2891

I wonder will there be any more calls today?  The more boardies the better!

I'm sure they're all ready to go.  Might be next week but I'm hoping for this week.

WittyName291

The lady on the phone said they are missing a piece of paperwprk that isnt ready yet so there is 2 pieces of mail to be on the lookout for

RedPool2891

Yeah, that's right.  Hopefully it's not too far behind - it's one of the most important pieces lol

WittyName291

Was it??? She didnt mention what it was, just be on the lookout and send it back when completed. What was it?

RedPool2891

I've dropped you a wee PM - just in case.

TheBearcop

Drop me a wee pm too redpool please, still can’t believe the call actually came, just find myself grinning out of the blue

pandabear97

Could you fire me one as well please? Cheers!

I know I'm finding it exceptionally difficult to focus on anything knowing I'll be dropping it all in a couple of months! Doing exactly the same as you though I'll just be driving about and all of a sudden start smiling to myself haha

KnightRider21

Room for a youngin?

RedPool2891

Nice one, congrats mate!

I'm banking on me being the youngest there by a distance haha!

KnightRider21

Judging by your 97 then its only a 2 year gap #Kindergarteners

TheBearcop

I’d be close to the same age group as yourselves

CarrotCake1

I'm gonna be the parent of the squad by the looks of it

Stig

Room in the club for one more???

MayDupname

Filling up now folks, good to see plenty of boardies confirmed. I think a strong drink and a celebratory viewing of Hot Fuzz is in order.

We've waited for this for soo long. I just know when we're buried under with work and stressing about exams we'll look back at this time with nostalgia.

Buy we've only gone and done it!

T213a

Yous said about an extra document missing? Never mentioned on my call. Good or bad? Haha

Paranoia that something will change or go wrong is setting in.. haha

Resignation letter written and ready to hand in.

I was wondering this on my way to work this morning. 

I've my resignation letter drafted and ready to go as well - going to wait until the welcome pack arrives though. 

I reckon I'll be the other parent of this squad, CarrotCake!

This is going to be great - so many boardies on board now

shanevendrell

If our start date is after the 15th of the month you aren't paid until the end of the month after....as long as 7/8 potentially without pay. One to think about.

Cool - thank you.  At least that answers our queries.

KnightRider21

feel like a right greenhorn asking these questions but when do the welcome packs get sent out? lol

RedPool2891

I'd imagine they're en route now.

TheBearcop

Hopefully I come home from work today and there’s a cheeky 1 sitting waiting for me

Waitinggame123

Would be nice way to end the week! Not long until it all begins!

MayDupname

Waitinggame, you probably shouldn't be posting a specific date on a public forum. Consider editing or deleting the post.

TheBearcop

Yeah I’d edit that

WittyName291

I suppose the dreaded cardio and sprints are gonna have to start now again lol

KnightRider21

Only cardio ill be doing is to the dinner table
