Im clueless to pension payments myself 28405 would be 465weekly in a normal job outside of AGS, after medical aid and pension would we be looking at 400 a week? Thanks!

By the sounds of it they have a massive backlog of files waiting for final sign off so maybe don't get your hopes up too much.

If you carefully review the August intake thread you'll see that a good number of people from sept 16 were in that intake. Also take into account the candidates which are lost during medical(5-10%), fitness(on my day there were 8 no shows and 4 fails), vetting fails (very small number), vetting outstanding and dropouts which aren't accounted for in your OOM. there's a good few below our OOM waiting but i'm confident we should get a shot (Although don't take my word for it, everything I say is an educated guess) You do make some very valid points tho ! Well I hope your educated guess is right for both of us buddy. The sooner we get started the better ! I hope i'm right too ha! If not I'm still gonna quit work and walk the camino del santiago for 5 weeks :D

Although it would be great I'm eager to leave my current job and get started to be honest. Is it looking like there is many from the January 2016 campaign ? If not we may be lucky ?

MrBlack93 wrote: » Don't think it's a matter of being given a new OOM, you're OOM isn't dynamic and won't change. This is perhaps the simplest way to imagine it; that each campaign has a stack of complete files, once your file is complete it's added to the correct stack in the order of your OOM. When it's time for offers to go out the fully complete files from the older campaigns are offered first etc. That's my understanding of it.
