- the other day.

- yes

- no indication to when.

Preconceived assumptions based on previous intakes of when offers might come. I think they sent offers on a Thursday before and u had up until Friday to accept 1pm. Was that the last intake. Can you remember.

The offers were released in a staggered manner and in batches last time as far as I know they were released on the thursday and then again the following week.

Think the first induction week received their offers a few days earlier.

Nobody knows is the only answer anyone here can give you.

A lot of us are in the same position and it's extremely f**king frustrating.

When's the last time you called?

Some people are saying that HRM have assured them that they'll be signed off in time for offers but I've been told by them that they couldn't guarantee anything so it really is anyone's guess unless someone can get it confirmed that they'll be signed off in time

I called early this week. It's so frustrating I don't think I can wait for the next intake.

Firstly I Just called HR. File still not signed off. Was told they'd be hopeful that it would be done by the time offers are out.

Secondly what does signing off actually entail. Is it actually a review of an applicants full file by a higher rank or is it just a formality that once vetting is complete and satisfactory it just has to be signed by higher management?

I always assumed it was a formality, that they had a look at Ur file, browsed ur vetting reports etc. Checked that all the boxes were ticked and that there was nothing serious discovered in your vetting.

Mustn't be that simple though :-(

Lads ye will know in 2 weeks max!

Aye that's all well and good but it would make all the difference in the world for us lads stuck in limbo with with high OOM's with everything complete bar sign-off to know whether or not we're gonna be in the running for the race at all or will have to wait for another damn 3 months. :P:P:P:P:P:P:P

MrBlack93 · 14-09-2017 01:54PM

Has anyone seen people from previous intakes missing an intake due to their file not being signed off?

If we miss this intake it will be going on 2 yrs come February. A long wait. Frustrating is an understatement
Emailed to see if vetting done, they emailed back saying my file was finished. 10 mins later emailed apologising and that it's actually still ongoing. Ya thanks. Get my hopes up and then turn round and say made a mistake. 😠😠😠😠

Yea that's tough. The shortest bitid God discrete they are. Only positive if u were maybe unsuitable you would have received the letter by now maybe. Think positive

Ive all signed off since june or there about. September 16 with an oom og just under 400. Have i got a shot for november do yous think? And would it be worth my while calling hrm to try squeeze a hint out of them?

Yes I would say-so, a lot of people waiting for vetting and final sign off.

Waiting for sign off from senior management myself. Rang last Friday and it still wasn't signed. Sept 16, OOM of under 50.

I'll need to find out next week if I'm going down in the next intake, so I can sort out work.

Butters97 · 14-09-2017 11:23PM

I have my medical and fitness test done and have met my local sergeant and super, what happens now?

Now you wait Leopold. The waiting game is entirely crap and longer for some than others. You may be lucky and it won't be a long one or it could take an age. In the mean time if there is any gaps in your vetting they will come back to you with questions or it will process to completion and you'll get your answer.

OLOB · 15-09-2017 08:41AM

Wouldn't it just be great if offers came out today, wishful thinking!

MrBlack93 · 15-09-2017 10:33AM

Selfishly I hope the offers aren't out for a wile yet :P

This waiting to be signed off is wrecking my head ha!

OLOB · 15-09-2017 10:52AM

I just need to be put out of my misery, whatever the outcome. My phone will break if I refresh my emails anymore

Cohaw · 15-09-2017 12:43PM

Anyone ring today. Went back to august trend and offers came out on Friday 5 weeks before 1st induction week. So we might hear later ??

I'd say I have more chance of winning the EuroMillions at this stage.
