    Done, thanks


  • Registered Users Posts: 62 ✭✭TheBearcop


    Yep, hello assault bike


  • Registered Users Posts: 464 ✭✭shanevendrell


    Have a feeling this is a smaller intake again. January is definitely full size but thats maybe because there is no December class.


  • Registered Users Posts: 180 ✭✭WittyName291


    No welcome pack delivery then. Thats no fun


  • Registered Users Posts: 62 ✭✭TheBearcop


    No welcome pack :( could be Monday


  • Registered Users Posts: 38 CarrotCake1


    Sorry guys I know this has already been discussed but when do you reckon our first pay day will be after starting? I currently get paid weekly so will I have to stash some dolla aside to keep me going a while?


  • Registered Users Posts: 180 ✭✭WittyName291


    Find out at the induction im guessing. Maybe ask drummer in the 1509 thread. Hes done his induction he mighy know.


  • Registered Users Posts: 27 Stig


    Got my welcome pack in the post this morning :) notice for work typed up too. Still doesn't feel like real.


  • Registered Users Posts: 263 ✭✭RedPool2891


    Mine is through too. Still a bit surreal.

    Carrotcake, it's in the welcome pack.

    Hope this is ok to ask, is the only form we have to send back before attendance the confirmation form?


  • Registered Users Posts: 62 ✭✭TheBearcop


    Yeah panda we just need to bring the other ones to induction I think


  • Registered Users Posts: 25 pandabear97


    Ok nice one cheers! Definitely does feel very surreal, can't wait until February now


  • Registered Users Posts: 180 ✭✭WittyName291


    So got the welcome pack. Had a flick through. Says on the confirmation form... i certify that i am not involved in any criminal investigation.... i was the victim of an assault in september.... wonder do i have to include that and what impact that might have? Anyone have anything similar by any chance?? Freaking out noe incase i cant go ahead with it

    Don't worry about it. Best thing to do is just ring them on Monday morning and ask do you need to write it in. I don't think that should be a problem though as you are victim.


  • Registered Users Posts: 263 ✭✭RedPool2891


    I also think it's more of a statement declaring that you are not under any criminal investigation, which you're not.

    It would do no harm to check anyway, just in case a court date comes up whilst you're training.

    Cheers folks. Ill ring tomorrow and check


  • Registered Users Posts: 62 ✭✭TheBearcop


    We should totally wear name badges with our boardie name at induction 😂


  • Registered Users Posts: 464 ✭✭shanevendrell


    From my experience of the January induction everyone will admit to being on the boards but only as a lurker haha!


  • Registered Users Posts: 191 ✭✭KnightRider21


    The district allocation choices..is that sent out via email/letter before inductionvl?


  • Registered Users Posts: 263 ✭✭RedPool2891


    I think it will be by letter. Hopefully it is en route now as they need to know our preferences before Induction.

    Thanks Redpool


  • Registered Users Posts: 263 ✭✭RedPool2891


    I take it you get the kit list at Induction?


  • Registered Users Posts: 62 ✭✭TheBearcop


    I was pretty sure that the girl on the phone said preferences were going to be sent out by email?
    Who knows we will see when we get it lol


  • Registered Users Posts: 180 ✭✭WittyName291


    The lady said to me that they will be posted out a few days later so to be on the lookout for them and get them sent straight back as there was a slight delay with them.

    Update: called recruitment about the investigations... lady checked and as im the victim just to write them down on them forms but everythings fine... such a relief


  • Registered Users Posts: 263 ✭✭RedPool2891


    Nice one Wittyname - I'd have been sick with nerves!

    Sent out by email Bearcop?  Suppose there's no reason why they couldn't.  It would probably be quicker (I wonder if they'll do that as they're slightly delayed?).


  • Registered Users Posts: 62 ✭✭TheBearcop


    Yeah I’m pretty sure that’s what she said, guess it would be quicker than them posting it and then us posting back


  • Registered Users Posts: 263 ✭✭RedPool2891


    We'll find out soon enough.  Hopefully you're right!


  • Registered Users Posts: 191 ✭✭KnightRider21


    Do we think district allocations will be sent out this side of xmas?


  • Registered Users Posts: 263 ✭✭RedPool2891


    I'm definitely hoping so.  They have to allow time for posting out, completion, posting back and sorting allocations before induction.  Unless of course they email instead...:D


  • Registered Users Posts: 45 T213a


    What documents do we bring to induction and what do we need to post back from the pack by the way?


  • Advertisement
  • Registered Users Posts: 180 ✭✭WittyName291


    It says in the pack what to take. You only post the confirmation form back


  • Registered Users Posts: 62 ✭✭TheBearcop


    I wonder if we get paid at the end of jan for induction?


  • Registered Users Posts: 180 ✭✭WittyName291


    Anyone received the preference forms that we've been on the lookout for?


  • Registered Users Posts: 62 ✭✭TheBearcop


    Nope nada :(


  • Registered Users Posts: 62 ✭✭TheBearcop


    Merry Christmas folks, could be our last Xmas day off for a while ;)


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,640 ✭✭✭Homer01


    Sorry guys I know this has already been discussed but when do you reckon our first pay day will be after starting? I currently get paid weekly so will I have to stash some dolla aside to keep me going a while?

    Last working day of the month. So 29/12/17, 31/01/18 and so on. You start just before cut off so you should get paid on 28/02/18.
    You can get a bit of advance if you need it as moving from weekly to monthly is a b1tch.

    And no we don't get paid for induction day. Just bring your own food & coffee and it'll all be good :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 38 CarrotCake1


    Thanks Homer :)  
    Oh guys I am getting SO excited!!


  • Registered Users Posts: 62 ✭✭TheBearcop


    Just got allocation choice email folks


  • Registered Users Posts: 191 ✭✭KnightRider21


    Came through here also

    Exciting times 🙈


  • Registered Users Posts: 5 Waitinggame123


    On the allocation pro-forma... are you all printing it, signing it and scanning to email it back? Or simply typing your name beside where it says 'signature'?

    Thanks


  • Registered Users Posts: 180 ✭✭WittyName291


    I done it on my phone and added a hand drawn signature


  • Registered Users Posts: 62 ✭✭TheBearcop


    Done it on computer and just typed my signature lol


  • Registered Users Posts: 263 ✭✭RedPool2891


    I went for the old fashioned technique and completed it in pen and scanned it back. 

    Hope you all had a nice Christmas and enjoyed a few celebratory beers!


  • Registered Users Posts: 81 ✭✭MayDupname


    Yea, I just typed my name in and emailed it back. How did you all go about choosing your preferred districts? I tried to weigh up distance that would be reasonable to travel with being far enough away from my local area where I wouldn't be recognized. Hopefully works out.
    That's Christmas over, need to start thinking about getting a bit of cardio in. Not be long coming around now!

    do you have to pick four districts or is 3 okay?


  • Registered Users Posts: 180 ✭✭WittyName291


    You can pick 1 if you want. Its up to a max of 4 just


  • Registered Users Posts: 191 ✭✭KnightRider21


    Great thanks!


  • Registered Users Posts: 263 ✭✭RedPool2891


    I think it's risky picking just one - if you don't get it you could end up with any of the others.  I personally think it's best to pick a few.  At least that way you're giving a few options to HR.


  • Registered Users Posts: 62 ✭✭TheBearcop


    Iv been hitting 3.5 mile runs 3 times a week over Xmas there, then come new year back to boxing time to get ready, it’s exciting :)
