    Thats brilliant!!! how random is this whole process though. The OOM does not seem to matter at all.

    My guess is;

    OOM matters once your signed off, so you would get an offer before someone higher OOM than you. However, if you're not signed off then that person with a higher OOM might get an offer to fill an intake.

    Hi, he just told me that they have 150 people for the April intake, maybe the offers haven't gone out, but they know who they are sending them too?
    Its just what he told me, didn't ask how he knew.

    local sergeant told me 150 aswel. I wasn't sure if it was 150 total or an extra 150 on top of the original 100. He said an email went around from HRM to all stations.

    I've just to meet the super, had PCT last week. Medical on Thursday and I'm OOM 53. The OOM doesn't seem to matter as there was people at my PCT with mid 300s.

    I was yeah, just relieved I don't have to go all the way back to repeat. For anyone yet to go, be prepared to do a lot of waiting around!

    Was the obstacle course and push/pull difficult?
    How strict were the push ups? Like all the way down and touch nose off floor?
    Thanks

    Obstacle course was grand, push and pull was ok too, I'm a girl like and was well over the mark, a lot of the lads seemed to be getting way over the 25.
    The push ups, again I'm a girl so had the easier version, you don't have to get your nose to the floor but they want to see your elbows at 90 degrees and your chest maybe a handsbreadth from the floor, just like the video really.
    TBH I haven't done that much training since Xmas due to injury and got through today ok, so I wouldn't be worrying. Worst that happens is you fail and go back for round two. So just do your best :)

    So I met the local Sergeant last night was really informal and chill. He emphasized that if you're signed-off on everything don't be surprised if you get the call in April. But he also added that you can defer 3 months to the next intake if it's too soon. He also told me alot of recruits from last year were sent up to the boarder region, so (Brexit)
    What did yours say ?

    Surely you can't just defer for the reason that it's too soon :) Thought if you defer there is chance they could drop you from the recruitment drive
