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.

I think you might have a bit of a wait. I am 120's n/rc and I am starting in March. I have not heard of anyone over 200 getting the call as yet.

Hang on in there mate:)

Im RC ~150, and my vettings cleared. Still waiting on call...

waawaa · 20-02-2009 01:31PM

im rc~750 & ive had a medical & passed vetting. dont know if that means i will be getting a call at some point. i spose it depends on whether or not they actually are calling people by merit number. it has seemed quite random so far

integra1 · 20-02-2009 02:17PM

Bit disappointed now no call for April, must be vetting ongoing!!! Ah well...have to keep the chin up!

Quite a few of us waiting on this vetting it seems! can't think what the hold up is now! mines away since September! Horrific!

how do you know the calls are all over? it may be that there just no boardies have heard today.. keep the chin up... what merit number are you?

i sent my vetting off in august/september and only cleared it a couple of weeks ago!

My vetting cleared pretty much within 2 weeks of submission but that was over a month ago and I'm still waiting.

Not sure what way they are processing entries...

integra1 · 20-02-2009 02:54PM

I don't really just assuming most are made by now...Merit 160-175...well done for yourself...will try and keep level headed (its hard).

1st April? You sure it wasn't a bit of a prank??

You will stay in G'ville for 4 weeks, then you move out if you live within a 35 mile radius. They are talking of extending the radius even more though, so you could be in for a lot of travelling. There's a guy in our squad who lives in England who didn't get a room after the 4 weeks, yet a girl who lives approx 3 miles away did, because she can't drive. That logic confused a lot of people....

Whats the craic with staying on after the 4 weeks now then? I start on 12th April and Im coming from England so commuting is defo out

and my folks live about 60 miles from G'ville. Will I be able to stay on do you think?

BanTownCop · 22-02-2009 11:49PM

lol sorry i ment the 12th april lol wrote that late on a saturday nite so excuse the mistakes lol ,, I live in Banbridge so id be just about on the boarder line but i cant drive so mayb i'll be allowed to stay.

Listening to all the people on here who were watchn their phone and waiting all day for the calls makes me feel lucky because i had forgot about it lol came as a total suprise but really happy now. Anyone got any advice on Garnerville?

waawaa · 16-03-2009 01:30PM

anybody thinking/hoping that mays calls go out next week. goin by the last 2 intakes i would have thought thursday 26th

Track · 16-03-2009 11:33PM

I was thinking around that time myself (maybe even Monday....?)
Still unsure what the craic is with my vetting though - I've called several times already and I have no idea when/if I'm cleared yet.........

Folks, I've said it before and I'll say it again, please please do not keep hassling the Vetting department. Its a long drawn out process. Deal with it. Nothing you can do to change it, and endless phone calls hold them up further.

Trust me on this one.

suziesaysso · 17-03-2009 08:25PM

argh! im getting rather itchy feet. what numbers are we up to now for non-RC intakes? i would pay good money to find out if i was going to get in on c14!

integra1 · 17-03-2009 08:31PM

what is your merit roughly matey?

suziesaysso · 17-03-2009 08:46PM

i am between 310-320. if you do the math (that 30% of applicants are RC, and assuming that RC do as well as non-RC in the AC etc, take that away from 310 and you get....about 220ish!) i am literally on the precipice! also I did my med back in November, last time i heard about vetting it wasn't cleared. i just want to have a bit of scream. ahhhh!!!

I soooooooooo hope you get in, cause then they are heading in my direction. LOL

suziesaysso · 17-03-2009 08:58PM

Vetting likely not cleared as they told me they work their way down the list more or less, that seems to be the norm..mine only passed recently and mine should have been straight forward....my merit was 160-175 non rc, so it prob is ongoing! but keep optimistic sounds like you are still in an appointable position to me!!:)

suziesaysso · 17-03-2009 11:19PM

i got a letter about 1 month ago asking for some missing info on my form so that hopefully means they have made a start!

the wait goes on.....

Track · 22-03-2009 05:12PM

Anyone placing bets on when the calls will be going out next week? Wonder if they do them all in one day? Anyone know if they leave you a message should you not answer? I'm trying to swap my anxiousness for confidence......

PapaYankeeGirl · 22-03-2009 05:58PM

I sure wish I was in the waiting room. My star sign for this coming week says that I would recieve a call about my dream job and that it would be good news. Obviously if your star sign is Cancer its looking good for you!!

1979SD · 23-03-2009 10:39AM

If the last course for campaign 14 is in december (just using december as an example) and people havent been given a starting place will we receive dear john letters or will we possiby get a start date with some of the campaign 15?
Does it depend on if your merit score or if you've passed everything? Anyone have any idea - I know some of the campaign 13ers are starting on some of the campaign 14 courses.
Its a long way off i know - but i'm starting to worry about it already!

1979sd

Track · 23-03-2009 10:16PM

1979SD, that is encouraging to hear - but how reliable are your resources about rolling over to the subsequent campaign? I'm not doubting them but I have heard the opposite; that applicants that are not chosen do get a letter and the entire process starts from scratch again.
I hope that isn't the case, as you'd think all the time and money that was spent on vetting you and giving you a medical wouldn't go to waste!
I am so eager to hear if anyone gets a call this week.....:cool:

suziesaysso · 23-03-2009 10:20PM

ah me too! can't wait. come on the calls for the boardsies!!

When I asked about getting the thanks but no thanks letter I was told that they are only sent out when all the spaces from the competition had been filled. Considering that Given1 has not long been offered his place from C13 that looks like it could be some time!
