    Ive a PCT coming up soon and according to HRM this is the only item outstanding. Would anyone have any clue to which intake I would be taking in on. Passing the PCT of course.

    If your vetting is completed and your medical and you've met with both your local sgt. and super then I would expect you to be in January intake

    Not a hope any of this campaign will see Templemore for January I would say, May at the very earliest for a few with most looking at July or after.

    Still a rake of 17's and even some 16's left.

    I know someone who had their PCT and was called for the intake 2 weeks later. Would it not depend on peoples vetting and OOM etc.?

    To go on the list...but people on the list from 17 and 16 will get first preference on future intakes provided thry've everything in order.

    Your OOM only applies to your campaign, it won't put you ahead of someone from previous ones.

    Well there were 4 in 2018... 181's 182's 183's and Oct were 184's.

    So fingers crossed it'll be the same for 2019. I have heard they are really pushing to get people in atm.

    Was told it is only Aunts & Uncles, blood related that they vet, not their partners.

    Think what they mean is it's only necessary to put down any blood relatives of you and your partner. That you don't need their spouses details.

    Anyone know what sort of stuff they ask for the medical in the intake forms and all that? I know we have guidelines but are they strict on illnesses or having been sick in the past?

    It's prior surgery, current medications, previous heart/lung diseases etc.

    Tbh I had serious lung surgery done myself about 8 years ago and it was grand. They'll look for medical notes for anything like that though. Once you're ok now and can pass the fitness you should be ok. Anything like cancer though and they may change their minds.

    I think I read in the main thread that if it's over 25 it's a fail but you have 6 months to bring it down, however if it's over 30 it's a straight fail with no second chances.

    Under 30 is a pass. If you are over 30 you will be given 3 months to get it under the 30 mark. I am not sure if over 35 is a straight fail.

    Ah yes, knew there something to it alright.

    Between 25 and 30 is body fat test,
    Between 30 and 35 is a deferral,
    Over 35 is a fail.
    Hope this helps and good luck with it.

    Got call from my local sergeant an hour or so ago. Meeting tomorrow. Delighted it's all progressing so quickly, only a few minutes of a chat I've been told. Still gonna hold off the night out! Hopefully the medical is only around the corner but not very optimistic about it being done this side of Christmas.

    I think I'm about the 3rd or 4th from this forum to get the call. Been waiting a month and a half now. Based on what I've heard that seems to be the average waiting time for the first batch anyway, which is only speculation on my part.

    And have you done the fitness or medical yet?

    Not yet. Seeing as I should be in the first batch to get called for it I can't give any sort of approximate waiting time, although I think the last campaign had a waiting time of about 3-4 months, which would mean around mid-late December or January. I'm away skiing the week after Christmas so I just hope it's not then!
