    Hey guys congrats on the call. I say you are all over the moon.'
    Just one question, were you from the 1405 campaign ? Doing my medical in a couple of weeks time for the 1509 campaign. Would love to get the phonecall whenever it may be. Would take a while to sink in I say. Congrats once again

    Hey yes 1405 campaign.

    Just wondering how many p.e. Classes we do a week? Really looking looking forward to that aspect. Do a couple of classes a week at the mo and the odd run but looking forward to getting fitter.

    PE three times a week, most of it self certified. Supervised lessons are a fair standard

    Not entirely sure! I have a suit dress thing I might wear on the Sat and probably a dress on the Sunday that I would usually wear in the office.

    Guys have it easy they just throw on a suit! I think anything we would wear in like an office situation would be fine, just smart rather than jeans etc.

    I have that suit dress but I feel like it looks abit full on! Like I'm playing dress up in my mums suit! So I usually just wear a dress to interviews and things.

    Is there a curfew at Garneville when we are there the 4 weeks? I know we won't have a whole lot of time but I take it we can go out in the evenings? Silly question maybe!

    Random question!! I have curly, frizzy hair and I'm very worried about how I'm going to tame it when going on parade! Has anyone any ideas or suggestions? I read somewhere to buy a bun from eBay, going to go for a wee search now! Any other suggestions?!

    Regarding the docs we need to bring to the induction. If anyone is having any issues finding their birth certificate, you can get a new one delivered next day if you place the order before 12pm the day before. Think it works out at about 26 for a full birth cert & delivery. If you haven't started looking for your cert yet, I'd recommend you do it now in case you need a replacement.

    Regarding informing HR about car registrations for the induction. Is that for our own cars or is it if we're travelling in someone elses etc if we decide to bring someone along?
