    I think a pen and note pad would be a good shout. Better looking at it as for it I guess. Apart from that I’m just bringing some fruit / snacks as I’m not sure of the meal timings and don’t want to be caught out.

    I asked when I gave my details, the guy at college admin said yes definitely bring a notepad and pen.
    I'm buzzing to get started, mostly can't wait to find out were I'll be posted, it's like Christmas eve only instead of socks or pyjamas the options are dissidents or loose sheep :D

    Looking forward to meeting the classmates also.

    Guys can you believe it’s happening... think back to the delay on IST results... the wait for AC... the excitement and being fast tracked, sucking air out of your ass at PCA and the nervous waits in between... it’s been a long process and in many ways it’s only just beginning.

    I saw that email this morning and immediately dismissed it as some kind of scam / junk. It doesn't look all that professional! I suppose it's a good thing you guys mentioned it haha. And yes, a suit in that heat is going to be very grim :( I wonder if they'll mind us wearing a pair of shorts with a suit jacket lol

    Even though its deleted, it's still in the email notification for anyone following this post guys so bear that in mind before you post any dates. It doesn't take a fool to know where the induction day will be.

    On a brighter note, enjoy the induction day guys whenever it is ;)

    Enjoy induction folks!

    Feels so good and surreal getting measured for the uniform. Lots of information given out so bring a pocket notebook and take notes.

    The four weeks after will fly in so make sure you're ready to go. After that it's just fun and hard work in equal measure.

    I thought induction was over a weekend?

    I'm just thinking ahead to time off required to attend everything.....so theres PCA familiarisation, PCA, medical and now induction if I get that far? All within a fairly short time period by the sounds of it.

    No joy, tbh by the time we had the conversation I was fine- it was more the initial shock. We were basically told only in incredibly extenuating circumstances could it change.

    Yes a few of us , what I'd take away from the experience is:- go in assuming you'll be placed in the most inconvenient district to you, and think how you could make that work and appreciate the sacrifice of time you'll have to make. My disappointment mostly stemmed from taking it as a given I'd get a district I want and planning around that.
    Prepare for the worst, hope for the best, and all that.

    We were lucky enough to have district available and everyone more or less got what they wanted, can see it being a huge pain not getting it though
