    It's actually easy enough just rest now to friday and take plenty water. After the running. Just don't try be a hero and set the pace just keep with the flow and keep to the beeps don't go all guns blazing thinking ul sprint from start but if you pass beep it should be in the bag. Just a side note to you all if you pass fitness you do drugs test and that can go back up to 6 months so if you were on any prescription medication try remember cause they ask you incase it shows up

    Still waiting myself. I got deferred because of my BMI and blood pressure. Got my BMI back down to normal and BP under control and sent a doctors letter to occupational health at the start of November and haven't heard anything back since. Was hoping to get an offer for January intake.

    Give them a ring and or email. The vetting is the slowest part and it's different for everyone I had everything complete as did quite a few other and were hoping for Jan but my vetting still no done and they not exactly fast at there job. There is room for a overhaul on this as there is no communication and they leave everyone in limbo which is not fair some people even waiting years

    I've rang Appointments twice since the start of November and each time I've gotten the exact same answer verbatim.

    " we're waiting on one or two suitability checks and we will give you a call when they come in"

    I'm just trying to wait patiently. The only **** thing is I have a long term job I would want to give fair notice to, a wife and 3 kids so we're all just kind of in limbo at the moment. Hopefully it's worth the wait.

    Yeah I don't even know if I will even hear back from Occupational Health. One comment I read said after they submitted a letter a month letter they got a call with an offer and never actually did hear from Occupational Health so I'm not sure what to expect

    I am the 2022 campaign. I first applied in March 2022 so it’s been a very long wait. I’ve had numerous problems with my eyesight and hearing tests. I would say to anyone who hasn’t heard anything back yet and like me was half expecting to be in the January intake, just email occupational health, appointment, just all of them. I think that’s the only reason I got a call last Friday to say my file was up to date. Also if anyone is applying now and fails their eye or hearing tests do not worry.

    Im 22 campaign also. Its been over 8 weeks since I sent Occupational Health a letter from my doctor for updated BMI and still haven't heard anything only a confirmation email from OH the day after my doc sent the letter to state they received it. Called Appointments twice in the past 8 weeks and they always give me the same answer "were waiting on one or two suitability checks". I'll email them and see what happens. Hopefully see you down there in April myself

    Hey everyone, quick question. I'm from last years campaign and just noticed somebody mentioned about penalty points and if they were meant to declare this on the form B?

    I was caught by the guards speed gun as couple years ago going 10 over the limit. I got penalty points but it never went to court. I never declared this on the form B cause I don't think it was necessary. How F'd am I?

    I haven't heard of anyone having to repeat the medical. They might ask for a letter from your Psychologist ?
