    So when are these phone calls meant to be going out? Is it this week coming?

    would love to get the call this week coming. i have my AC the week after and would be great not to have to do it again:D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 721 ✭✭✭goodcopbadcop


    We are pretty much in same position with C13, I have a real bad feeling about it, think we will be waiting until the very last call and will probably miss that one too. At least you got this next campaign to fall back on

    You told me to stay positive so I'm returning the favour - keep the faith bro!!!:D We're all rooting for you!

    does anyone know for sure when the calls are going out?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 23 frank1


    hello all

    my first post ever.

    I'm in the waiting room from c13. I'm under 300 in the merit pool and P religion. Anyone think I may have a chance of getting in?

    Whats everyone else in the merit pool/religious backgrounds?

    Think the september calls should be next week/the week after.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 721 ✭✭✭goodcopbadcop


    Frank i would say you are in with a pretty good chance. 220 Protestants being taken in.

    Obviously the top 220 on the list are not all protestants, so you seem to be in a good position.

    im quite a bit lower than you, although i am from Rc background so that might make a difference when it comes down to 50/50

    Not for me. I thought someone on here said it would be this week. It might be next week.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,012 ✭✭✭MrsGeneHunt

    Most likely next week as intake is 7th Sept.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 102 ✭✭MAKEPEACE


    I hope I get the call soon. I counted them to be starting next week or something...wish it was today.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 23 frank1


    Its a pain in the ass meathstevie

    Can I ask you what your merit number/religious background is?

    Maybe others who are waiting could also put their's up to see where recruitment are at the moment in the merit list? This should give us an indication of when and if we get the call.

    I'm from P background and am just below 300

    Thats a fair enough placing Frank1 - there are still a few intakes of C13 to go. I take it your Vetting and med is complete?

    Practice that patience.

    Even tho it sucks. Big Style.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 23 frank1


    yup, did the medical in april and passed and also passed the vetting. Got the vetting forms through today for c14 and i rang up to see if i had to fill them in again - and surprise surprise, i do - even tho i am already cleared! The 2nd wait continues... i hate it!

    Don't really know if it will give indication because I think people with higher merit numbers have got in earlier. Somebody said it to do with your UID as well.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 721 ✭✭✭goodcopbadcop


    I dont see what it has to do with your UID. thats just a random number you are given to indentify you. I would of thought they take people in based on other factors and not that.

    As its nearly 5 weeks til the next intake for the September squad, just wanted to wish everyone in the waiting room goodluck for any phone calls they may be about to receive this coming week/the week after:)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 721 ✭✭✭goodcopbadcop


    Will be a very nervous week :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 102 ✭✭MAKEPEACE


    I didn't mean that the UID contributed to the yes or no answer just the order they let you know you are in. As I said I don't know if this is anyway correct I just thought I remembered someone mentioning it because at all the different rounds they were with the same people and so assumed they would get into the same campaign with those successful in that grouping. This would only serve to explain how somebody in the 700's got in before others with better merit pool numbers first. I dunno really just hope we all get told soon. :)

    UID has nothing to do with groupings for squads - when you go for the IST and A/C you are grouped due to your UID.

    Someone in the 700's has gotten in before others with better merit pool numbers simply because the 50/50 favours that particular religion and their medical/vetting is complete.

    I agree 100% was about to post the same thing actually. taking people in based on their Uid number doesnt make any sense. Imagine somone number 40 merit number passed everything and they make them wait for 7 months until its their uid groups turn. No way, cant see it being run like that.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 23 frank1


    GCBC, any joy about contacting appointments when the last squad for c13 goes in and when the first squad starts for c14?

    Cant see the first intakes of C14 being as late as Feb...as happened in C13 I think the elite of C14 will go in with the tail end of C13...

    At an educated guess I'd say first intake of C14 Nov or Dec.

    Just my humble opinion, dont all go off on one!1:D

    The intention is there - heaven knows I could do with it ! - just a few admin matters to be sorted first. I'll keep everyone informed one way or the other.

    Anyone shed any light on whether they're taking more than 440 in for C13? I guess this would mean I'll have missed out by a slightly narrower margin. :(

    AFAIK the intake for C13 is 440, no more no less.

    There were rumours on previous pages of there being 440+ for C13. I don't think this has been confirmed.

    I'd say that the chances of there being more than 440 in the intake are slim to none. So much so, if thats the case I'll eat JVBs pink thong.:p

    Saying that guys, there are approx 10 intakes (so ive heard) and if you work out the maths thats 440 peeps / 10 intakes = 44 per intake. Our intake in Aug is 58 so this doesent add up.

    MGH, you may be eating a pink thong for tea somenight.

    JVB, could you hang it out to air prior to MGH munching on it.

    There may not be 58 people in every intake. 9 intakes of 42 + 1 intake of 58 = 436.

    58 people in the August intake could be explained by a number of people having to defer from earlier intakes and their spaces not being filled in those early intakes. Possibly even people from C12 who have only just had vetting completed.

    Someone said on here an officer told them something about extra people in camapaign 13, and i remember seeing it in a document someone posted, cant find it now though. As well at that frank was told the last intake was feb, why would someone from recruitment say that if it wasnt true.

    Carol Vorderman impressions aside. Is the recruitment process geared to confuse people? Why can't it be a straight forward system were everyone knows where they stand?


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,006 ✭✭✭PapaYankeeGirl


    Hey,

    I heard from a police officer that alot of people declined/dropped out of training after those attacks (shooting/bombs) on police recently. Maybe they still need to make up the 440 and thats why they are sorta taking more in. Ie if 40 declined that would possibly mean they need to offer another 40 training places therefore making the total 480 and not 440. Hope you catch my drift.

    In that case I hope a lot more people (non-boardies of course) drop out and I have my "Dear John" from C13 rescinded. :D

    If only. :(
