    Starting to lose hope/the will to live. Passed my medical in September and still no wiser if I'll be getting 'the call' or not. Would love the wait to be over.

    Massive congrats to you all who got word.

    I suppose this question might be answered in our information pack when we get them or at least at the induction but in the meantime does any of you know if we get a couple of days leave from training at Christmas. Christmas day, boxing day etc? Im sure the training staff wouldnt want to work those days even though the force is 365 days.

    A friend who is already a few weeks in is under the impression they are getting Christmas day and boxing day.

    I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that you get Christmas Day, Boxing Day & New Years Day.

    What happens if you need 1 day off during the 22 weeks training? Got a brother getting married in May 2015 and if my medical appeal goes to plan il hopefully be in next batch of calls.

    Sorry if this is in wrong thread.

    I've heard of people in the past getting out for a few hours so you never know but it'll likely be a last minute thing. Depends what stage of training you're at I guess.

    Is there any info online with regard to what to expect from the induction weekend/ Did I read somewhere on the boards that you can bring a partner along on the first day or am I imagining this?
