    My offer for this intake was withdrawn due to a change in circumstances which requires additional vetting. Fingers crossed for the next one.

    Good luck next time mate, sorry to hear that! I ended up moving back home to my mums before I got the vetting forms just to make things easier! Complete nightmare being back home after 5 years tho!

    A personal message for all over the last few days (didn't think Christmas Cards would be appropriate); to all Staff, Sergeants, ACC Mark Hamilton (you have a very piercing stare, well done) and my fellow pre-student officers, have a Very Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year.

    It was (nervously) fun and I hope to see you all shortly.

    The clock is ticking, so let's get some use out of those January sales. :)

    Good man, i'd say you're fit for fúck all for the next few days now too ! hahaha

    I'm rightly through it already. Nothing too heavy yet!

    What would people think of having a whatsapp group going, or is it a bit silly ?

    Obviously you'd need to prove you were at the induction weekend first of all.

    Didn't see the point in trying to learn stuff I'd stand no chance of remembering
