    thats what i was thinking, all we can do is pray that they spring a surprise on us! it would give more time for your vetting to come through thou m8t:)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 536 ✭✭✭integra1


    my thoughts exactly chum


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 105 ✭✭kelso69


    I have my hopes up for an April call. Passed every thing inc vetting and would have been in the March intake except they hadn't got word from OHW that my medical appeal had passed quick enough!

    I hope they start calls from Tomorrow, however who knows! You'd like to think they'd let most people know before 10th March as most of us will need to give one months notice to our current employer.

    It tends to be roughly 6 weeks before the intake so you are looking at the start of march.

    The SID will be end of March for an April 12 intake, does that not mean calls this week and next Bout ye? Just guess work on my part!...:confused:

    To be honest i'm just working off what it was like when i was waiting which would make it calls going out first week in march. I could be completely wrong.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,258 ✭✭✭carlty888


    The February intake got 7 weeks notice, while the December intake only got about 3 weeks. I think these were exceptions, rather than the rule, as for all other intakes it's been about 6 weeks. So as BoutYe says, the calls should be going out at the start of March (end of next week at the earliest).

    Disclaimer: I'm not in Recruitment, so I could always be wrong. :cool:

    i wish they would just post dates on the web or something and let people know when they 'might' get a call!! im completely stressed out with all this!!

    Believe me I totally know how you feel. I felt like my life was on hold until I got the call.

    It is such an awful process to go through, I don't understand why they can't be more open about everything.

    When it happens you will forget all about this stress , it will be replaced with shock:eek::eek:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 53 ✭✭Kelz


    yeah unfortunately though all i can think about at the min is the stress lol!! ive really convinced myself im gonna get a call for the April intake... and was really hoping it would come this week!!! :(

    fear not....the first boardie to get a call for the feb intake got theirs at 2.30 or thereabouts i think. so theres the whole rest of the day to go yet. im like you tho, hopin that my vetting & all cleared in time for the april calls.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 53 ✭✭Kelz


    waawaa my vetting cleared a couple of weeks ago so thats why ive convinced myself this is my month! i have my phone in front of me at work and told people not to phone me as i get the 'fear' everytime it rings lol!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 103 ✭✭waawaa


    i know, nightmare. fingers crossed for all of us who are cleared.... could you imagine goin through all this again next month! itll be a bit of an anti-climax if theres no phonecalls at all today


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 263 ✭✭PC Inwaiting


    I remember everytime I got a call on my mobile that was withheld I would totally freak out and get myself into a state.

    ..and when I did get the call they rang my work number, I did not even see it coming:)

    Hi Folks,

    Does anyone have an idea of the highest RC and non RC merit numbers that have made it in so far?

    I'm non RC in the early 300's, and have passed everything, just not heard a thing yet.
