    As per pack. At induction students will be notified of district allocation at induction.. But then it asks you take make up to 4 available choices - slightly confused??

    We pick up to four each carrying the same weighting so example you pick A and D they are equal and have no preference over each other but you are also not gaurenteed each of them.

    Hopefully this makes it abit easier

    saying there all equal would it make sense to make just one preference? would say the choice is already made anyway

    More or less if you like the look of 3 there’s more of a chance you will get one of them 3 if available still no guarantee though

    If you make once choice, get but as the course goes on you change your mind you dont really have grounds for an appeal.

    but if there is only one good choice is what I mean and the rest aren't good for you anyway ,would it matter?

    Do you really want to kill options?

    It's a difficult one. There's only 1 district that I'd really like and another one that would be just ok. I'm thinking if I select both, I dilute my chances of getting the one I really want and if I only select one, there's a greater chance of being placed very far away.
    Regardless - this is a problem I want to have. I'd go to Rathlin Island without grumbling if that's where they wanted to place me :)

    Bearing in mind if you have no kids and no mortgage you can just be voluntold were you going and it may not be any of your district choices

    No. A Friend's was very limited. Plus like I have said and what people whobare in GV/passes have told you, if your personal circumstances are "flexible" yiu can be sent anywhere in NI.

    Our squad was allowed to pick any district, squad before was a bit more limited. If you pick just one district you run the chance of not being placed there and sent anywhere else. You can pick 4 or 1 its up to you, operational needs and home locations are factors in it all. You can start appeal process at induction if you aren't happy

    I eventually settled on choosing only 1 district (the only available one that I thought was suitable). There was one other that would have been just ok but I decided not to select it because it would halve my chance of getting my preference. Getting sent to the furthest district from me will only be slightly less preferable to the second choice I mentioned.

    It's a gamble but we should be sending these forms in on the assumption that we have NO control over where we're stationed.

    Or like knight said you can be sent anywhere so even if you have made 4 choices don't expect to get them.

    Well if I get that far, I’ll see what happens. Though if I was lucky and given all districts as an option I’m led to believe that my second choice is one everyone wants out of :-O
