    Thanks RedPool! I just got the call. Wasn't on the reserve list and definitely wasn't expecting it to come today. What a great way to start the weekend! Hopefully there will be as many boardies on this intake as there was on the last intake!

    Absolutely buzzing - anyone else get the adrenaline pumping when you got the call? I was shaking I was so excited, even better because I didn't expect it today at all. Looking forward to meeting you all at induction! :)

    You don't get it in the pack you find out pretty much everything at induction.

    Is there anyone on this thread in a reserve list for February by any chance?  Does anyone have a score lower than 59.25?  Thanks

    Congratulations folks. Up until now you have all be in competition with each other for a hard earned space at GV. You're now all on the same team, so look out for each other. Get the heads down and i may see some of you on the ground in 6 months time!

    Thanks for all your help Maj. As i've said before, you've been an amazing source of knowledge for all of us! I think it's safe to say that a few of us owe you a beer :D

    What's everyone been doing fitness-wise in preparation for GV?


  • Registered Users Posts: 141 ✭✭Drummer64


    Wishing i was doing more lol just trying to get back into it. Any signed of welcome pack?

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 35 PCMAC


    Lol me too although I've focused more on cardio lately and starting to think I should've started a bit of strength training earlier. Just doing the usual press ups, squats etc at the minute. Hoping not to be seen as 'weak' when the GV training starts! I haven't received mine yet but hoping it'll be there when I get home tonight/tomorrow at latest!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 71 ✭✭ColourArcade


    To be honest, i'm trying to get into the swing of things again also. Some cardio and strength training. Just trying to increase my sprint time and lift weights until defeat. I know it'll come in handy when we get into GV.

    I've received nothing yet either, hopefully should be by the end of the week when we get the post!


  • Registered Users Posts: 38 TERRYFOLDS


    I thought packs usually came out quite quick, I think some got theirs the next day in the last set of calls, hopefully tomorrow then. As for training I've been slacking too, 2 light runs a week and 4 days of weights not having pushed too hard with either. Going to ease my way up to doing another set of sprint training and some tabata training as well. Had a full week without training there and fitness has definitely suffered from that but time enough to get fitter.

    Plenty of time. Just remember not too many turkey dinners over Christmas lol

    Haha well done mate!  What score are you on if you don't mind me asking?


  • Registered Users Posts: 21 r896neo


    I'm now wondering if I should do the IST of the new campaign anyway. It's been such a long road with goal posts shifting all the time that until I'm physically walking into garnerville on my start date I'm still in the back if my head doubting it. Haha.

    #Mindscrambledbythewait


  • Registered Users Posts: 263 ✭✭RedPool2891


    I would do the induction day and then withdraw from the new campaign.  If the IST is before induction, it would do no harm to do it.


  • Registered Users Posts: 263 ✭✭RedPool2891


    Hope everyone who got late calls are enjoying their beers!

    Hey, can someone tell me or pm me what documents I need for induction? I haven't got my welcome pack yet and so don't have the info but the day is not that far away so don't want to be scrambling if there is something I don't have handy and need to send for etc.

    Cheers.
