How long does it take to receive the thing we have to print off and bring with is on the day along with ID? There is nothing in my bookings now. Should be in your messages, just stating the date and time you’re due in. That’s all I printed anyway and they took it! Good luck

One of the things that came up was work history either last 10years, 5 years or in the US since the age of 16!

They also check your credit history, and in the US for high level clearance they verify your entire medical history! It's just that if it was like regular vetting, plus spent convictions and a quick scan of the pulse system I cannot see what the hold up would be?

It's just a question of vetting once you have everything passed. So if you're 18-23 have always lived at home, not too many jobs, small family and no one lives abroad, I'd say you're golden!

I know there's a payscale difference but I didn't think I'd be that disadvantages if I got in and didn't have a degree.

Better to have 1 or 2 years left to do over time than 3 full years ! Dont throw in the towel and keep applying for work ! I am post stage 2 myself and not counting any chickens or thinking my life will change in any way before 2020 ! Good luck pal !

You could continue your degree after , if the GS was really in your heart, or as it may happen , you could be finished college before you are called so dont leave !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've been looking for some part time work over the summer and if I'm going back to college, I applied online for part time work in a restaurant and they just emailed me to say I didn't get the job. So I was annoyed at that but then I saw I had a notification on about the Garda recruitment. It was unrelated I just felt a little bit better about not getting a ****ty minimum wage part time job when I saw I passed stage one. I've 3 years left in college, I'm changing to a different field if I don't get in so I'm not even sure I'll enjoy my course. I'm just keeping my options open so if I don't get the GS I at least have something to fall back on.. Sorry about that I should have been a bit clearer.
