    Yes and quite confusing lol. I thought we could bring someone to induction but it doesnt mention this? Can anyone shed some light? Also can we pick less than 4 districts? For the family addresses my sister has moved since i done vetting.. will this matter that im putting a different address?

    That's really weird to drop that. Would be good to find out the reasoning as I always thought it was nice touch bringing your nearest and dearest.

    Lots to read in the pack but I suppose much of it is simply expansion and clarification on points you'd already have known and considered fairly standard going in. All very real now. I cannot wait. Maybe it's just me but does anyone else feel they really need to get a lot of general personal stuff in order now in advance of when the all consuming training process begins. Like a deep breath before the plunge. I expect it to be almost completely demanding of our time for the next 5 months

    A conditional offer? Is this in case someone pulls out?
    I wonder how many conditional offers were made on top of people who got the actual call?

    Obviously we don't know the circumstances but it's mind boggling to me that people would go through everything in the last 18 months and then drop out.

    Congrats to all those starting in March.

    I think 101 and ask for recruitment is the easiest way.
