    I'm still waiting for a review of my medical (I had to send in additional information). Still not reviewed, 4 weeks later. I guess they're snowed under?

    Initially applied in July 2024 for the GR. 13 months and counting. If everything goes through (hopefully), it's looking like a minimum 2-year process.

    Applied last July. I've had my medical done, but I have had to send in additional information. I am now awaiting a decision (it's been over 4 weeks since I submitted the request for extra info.). So I'm still awaiting a green light regarding the medical.

    They told me my vetting is ongoing (despite not getting the green light yet regarding medical). It's been over a year since I applied, and my vetting was only submitted around 2 months ago. I was thinking that if everything goes smoothly, the process could take around 2 years, from application to being offered a place (that's for me anyway). But hopefully things will move more quickly.

    Best of luck to all here. I think there could be a GR class starting in October??
