    I wouldn't lose hope you are in the best position for a call. If nobody got a call yesterday they could do more on Monday.

    HR told me the same thing when I rang a week or two ago. Budget cuts means that they have to wait and see if they have the funding on a squad by squad basis.

    Good luck my lovelies!!!!

    Oh yeah I knew they were doing it squad by squad I just thought Dr. Had seen a report that was released mentioning it and I fancied a look.

    I seen that they're restricting the opening hours if enquiry offices to help save money.

    Oh well we can only wait and see, if we don't get a call this time it's not that we haven't tried.

    It was not made public but as someone has already posted it: intake of 40 confirmed for Jan and any subsequent recruitment will be subject to review. I have had this confirmed by someone "on the inside" lol. We are all just at the mercy of budget now. There is only space for another two squads anyway even if they took all 378.

    I thought you had seen more information that had been made public about the squad by squad recruitment. I wanted to see what they said so that I could rant about it to my partner lol.

    As stated previously, all recruitment is under review

    Squad by squad squad, could be 40, could be 20 could be cancelled

    Hopefully they keep going for campaign one at least

    Could it be possible that they would carry the calls over three days instead of the usual two given the size of this intake?

    I really, really, really hope so. I'll be gutted if I miss out on this, especially given the fact I have passed everything, the vetting is cleared and other people with 64 have got the call. Fingers crossed!

    Roughly how many were taken in the previous 2 intakes, I'm pretty sure it wasn't 40 and if it took 2 days for them it stands to reason 3 days for a full squad.

    Ah right, I should really check these things before I type. From what I have read on here I was under the impression that the first load of squads were under subscribed? (for want of a better word). I think it's a case of me thinking out loud on here lol.
