I will welcome myself to this thread people, got the call today out of the blue start on 3rd aug. any advice for the up and coming training would be much appreciated.

alanbelfast · 04-07-2008 8:50pm

Well done leegibson

We will see you at SRN on 21st mate.:)

JVB · 04-07-2008 10:00pm

Yes well done LeeG. Just keep yourself (relatively) fit, be organized with regards to returning your forms to external appointments and collating your requested information i.e birth cert etc. Oh and don't get lifted

See you on the other side ...

Monkeymagic824 · 05-07-2008 2:04am

Welcome to the club mate.

MrsGeneHunt · 05-07-2008 9:05am

Well done!!! Huge congratulations, I wish you all the best!:)

goodcopbadcop · 05-07-2008 9:34am

super,smashing,great Lee!!

I thought all the August calls were done long ago, but like I said people drop out etc and some lucky people get last minute calls or letters.

All the best!

Monkeymagic824 · 05-07-2008 10:57am

Cheers, i have my AC for the new campaign monday, dont know if i should still go or not??

Hi Lee. If you asked this question of external appointments they would advise you to still attend as you only have a provisional job offer and, I suppose, things could change. This would be them covering all angles, because if they told you not to attend and for whatever reason your training place was rescinded, you would have a case to argue. My own thoughts are that if you have a training place 4 weeks away, I wouldn't continue in C14. But this is only my opinion. Maybe psni or other Boardsies could help?
Best of luck mate.

goodcopbadcop · 05-07-2008 12:16pm

I have to say in my honest opinion, you would be absolutely crazy to go and go through 4 hours of role plays when you are in. Just my opinion anyway, you're in, take it easy until training starts!

MrsGeneHunt · 05-07-2008 1:05pm

I'm with GCGC on this one, why put yourself through an AC when you're in?? From what I can gather you have a lot of paperwork to pull together not to mention shopping to do etc etc plus I would try and chill out before going in as you'll not get a chance once you've started!

Concentrate on 3rd August is my advice, for what its worth! I'm praying to any God that will have me that I've only to do an AC once!!!!!:p

Shield · 05-07-2008 2:31pm

Once you're in, you're in. You can safely withdraw from C14.

Monkeymagic824 · 05-07-2008 8:56pm

thanks fo the advice, think i will pull out, external appointments said it was upto me but there would be no change in my position unless i got a criminal conviction between now and 3rd aug or ended up medically unfit

goodcopbadcop · 05-07-2008 9:25pm

Is your name actually Lee Gibson?

They have probably been reading on here and noticed your enthusiasm

alanbelfast · 06-07-2008 10:05am

Hi Lee

Again well done on getting the call.
I would definitely withdraw from C14 mate. YOU ARE IN ! Concentrate now on getting your admin stuff together for the SRN and above all mate enjoy the fact that 'you made it'. It wont be long now until we all start and I think you would only be putting yourself under unnecessary pressure by doing the C14 stuff again!

Bring on July 21st mate

inspector71 · 06-07-2008 11:31am

you lucky swines! Two weeks today until your SRN!

so jealous

egwene · 06-07-2008 7:19pm

must have been a huge shock getting such a last minute call. well done!

Monkeymagic824 · 06-07-2008 10:21pm

yeah totally unexpected, but it has been the best news in years.The start of a whole new life.this month is going to drag, does anyone know what the situation will be at christmas time with regards to time off, only asking because all my family live in England and i usualy go home?

egwene · 06-07-2008 11:42pm

really pleased for you

I wouldnt be too hopefull about getting any substantial time off over christmas, simply because its not a job that can just shut down over christmas, and anyone starting in august might not qualify for booking holiday time that early on... but im no expert...

leegibson if you dont mind me asking, roughly what's your merit score? admissions told me they where working through the list in merit order, so it'd be interesting to know what point their at...

Hi Lee. I was advised that you are only off for the public holidays over xmas. i.e xmas day and boxing day. But bearing in mind 20 weeks from 3rd Aug is 21 Dec therefore I believe your graduation will be Mon 22 Dec you may find that you won't go straight in to your further 10 weeks training. I understand 1 weeks leave is built into the 10 weeks post student officer training so PSNI might just slot it in over xmas. These are only my thoughts mate. The book answer is ONLY xmas holidays, but I'm sure your instructers will be able to answer definately. Just don't make it your first question

Wanalaugh · 07-07-2008 10:18pm

JVB
Seems a bit strange. I was talking to my mate who was on an August intake, and he says he didnt pass out until January. I never asked him the exact start date, and it may have been a into the 2nd week of August. So as such it would have taken him into Jan.
I hoping its Dec. What a Christmas that would be eh......as long as we pass.

Ethan321 · 11-07-2008 8:17pm

Congrats to all who have got the call up. Just make sure you dont post personal details, times or accomodation details on here, if you need to just do it by PM.;) Have my exam week now in 2 weeks time:eek::eek:. PANIC!!!!!!!!!!

Rob-117 · 29-07-2008 8:05pm

, thanks for all the help

P.S Did anyone watch street wars last night? the PSNI were on getting petrol bombs thrown at them

Well done Rob

You'll have good Boardsie company in the Hotel!!!!

New Recruit · 29-07-2008 8:42pm

Just a quick question to those who are at the Hotel or have been through it regarding the fitness aspect. I play football to a reasonable level and would have a basic/fair level of fitness, but I am far from the fittest on our team. I intend to up my fitness regime over the next 5 weeks before I start my training, but what level of fitness would be required to be deemed acceptable?

What would a typical PE session be?

Any help would be great.

PS well done

SFMCC · 30-07-2008 9:07am

Well done wanalaugh and new recruit and thanks to everyone for the support. Does anyone have information on what books can be bought to get ahead before starting at Granerville? I have heard people talking about having to learn definitions word for word, does anyone know what these are?
Thanks

SFMCC. Well done on your success. I think this question is probably best answered by one of the peeps who start next Monday as they've attended the Student Registration Night (SRN) already and will have more knowledge.
I see you've asked the same question in the 'Starting in Garnerville Soon?' thread so best just waiting until one is answered.

Best regards
