    Fingers crossed I would love brugha
    So there's no donegal then was that just a rumour?

    Supposedly a couple of people on that days bloods where off so they think something went wrong so we had to go back in and re do them.

    Have you heard yet or you still waiting for a place?

    We were told Finner was at full strength.

    I'd like Brugha myself as I know a few lads over there and it's only a bus trip away.

    I'm waiting on a place hopefully for Brugha at the end of September.

    They also said if we didn't hear anything within two weeks of the medical, we can nearly take it that the bloods and urine were clear.

    So all I can do is wait, which is slowly killing me haha.

    I was told finer was at full strength too but that it was an option for training?

    I dunno I just really hope it's brugha cause it's only a bus from me as we'll so it'll be ideal.
    Wonder what the chances are of being placed in dublin after training tho?

    Ah okay so where just waiting on a place then really aren't we

    Hopefully they consider where from dublin so they'll place us there haha

    Pretty much, I'd say its just the vetting holding it up.

    Ye that would be great.

    Well I was told by a lad who's in Brugha that we would be more than likely staying in Brugha depending on what corps we get into after the training.

    You have to be there for 8 whatever time they say
    Full out paper work
    Do a urine test , see the doctor do weight height bmi
    Then see the dentist then you go get bloods and do your hearing and visual
    Once everything is okay you see the doctor then
    You'll no if you've passed besides bloods and urine
    I was in for four hours but I was waiting for a nurse for most things cause she had to be with me cause I'm female

    Not me my son he had his medical and was 'unfortunately' honest about a kidney complaint he'd had investigated as a young lad (latest test was 2008) the doc in bricins has requested follow up tests . had ultrasound on monday he's to see kidney specialist tomorrow . I know that the doc in bricins has the last say but just wondering if theres any recourse if he refuses him. Hes fit healthy and has had no problems with his kidneys only problem with them is one is smallet than the other . Sometimes honesty doesnt pay.......
