There was a girl who failed too but she had like 5 cigarettes before entering the beep test. Nerves? I don't know I don't have them I guess! I loved the number on PCT about 25 people, we got to know each other. I was expecting much more people on that day there. Also I know a guy who got Feb intake and he is telling me life in Templemore isn't easy - very strict!!! You aren't treated like a child nor like a student. Curfew after 12, no pictures, gone from social media, not to leave campus while in your uniform. Very army like!!! PARKING - nightmare! Those who have children can request for special leave (night for going home) but not guaranteed you will get it. College from 9-5 after 5pm there's nothing to do!

I rang in January and was told its awaiting the final check and I rang today and was told there's still part of my vetting outstanding so I feel like I'm been giving the run around here.

I lived in England for 6 years because I was in the British army so I'm assuming that's what is keeping me but I didn't think it'd take this long. Really starting to lose hope now. Been told different things when I ring up doesn't help either.

Iv done everything I can in my control to try and figure out what the story is with my file but nobody can tell me anything. Had to re do half of the process after Xmas because the time lapsed. If I don’t get April I think i will have to draw a line under it and move on. I can’t continue to live in limbo anymore .

Then being told your prize is to work for €1.90 an hour doing duties. Believe me the army training is hell. We hadn’t even heating in our 8 man rooms during training.

My partner wants to join the guards and heard there will be a recruitment drive in 2018 and to keep an eye out for it on publicjobs.ie I have been reading your conversations and was wondering based on all of your experiences the following: A) what are his chances of getting to even apply for the guards this year if they are calling people back as far as Sept 2016 & June 2017? what is this OOM you all refer to? C) how can he apply or is there anything he can do to be best prepared Thanks a million!
