    I think it was 4-6 weeks from last campaign guys. Altho I didn't follow the forum as much then! I'm mid-high 60's same score as last time. I'm guessing I'll get mine about end of April/ start of May, pca June. Going on what way it went last time. Hope this helps

    I know a guy who was nearly 70's and he got his real soon after the results lol trying not give anything away here haha. In squad terms if I'd passed there was an intake between us for the sake of 2 marks. Just all depends on whose scored what I suppose lol.

    So just to clarify nobody in low 70's has received vetting forms? It's high 70's +?

    Well done btw guys now get all ur info sorted asap the timescale will be nearly gone before you's know it :)

    Ps if it's any help my vetting letter came on one day and my pca came the next day! But again I suppose it just all depends.

    Anyone else receive a letter today re campaign two?

    Just says your application is now being processed through the remaining stages, please refrain from contacting us unless it's regarding a change of circumstances etc.

    Was sweating opening it thinking it was a Dear John for campaign one.

    I haven't.. But then I'm not sure if I gave them my parents address or my own when applying at the time so will check with my mum.

    What mark did you get in your AC? (Roughly)

    It's the same correspondence the last group in campaign one, which I was part of, received. It was an e-mail that time though so that's why I was a bit surprised to see a letter roll out.

    I got roughly 78-80.

    Congrats on being the first to be contacted. I'm guessing you both recieved your vetting forms yesterday? If you are from campaign one, did they send vetting forms out in batches every 4-6 weeks?

    Cheers! Yeah, I did receive mine yesterday.

    Scored between 61-62 last time round, so I had to wait from results in March to September to receive vetting forms. Still in the running for that (touch wood) but I'm glad to be progressing a bit quicker this time. The vetting forms do usually go out every 4-5 weeks or so, so the next batch shouldn't be waiting too long.

    I'm assuming it's just those that have received vetting forms that have also received the letters?

    That seems to be the case. I'd like to think next week after the board meeting we have a definitive number for potential recruits for this campaign

    Yeah whats the deal with the letters? Basically saying its a long process, inform us of any personal changes and don't contact this office lol?

    Does this mean the PCA dates will be pushed back? Means more time for training I guess...

    The letter is a carbon copy of an e-mail sent to the last batch in campaign one. It was sent a while before vetting and PCA invites for that batch. No other batches received it and my guess is they realised leaving people in the dark for months with no correspondence wasn't exactly great. Therefore, they'll now send letters to each batch just before they start phasing.

    That's just me surmising the reasons but I'm quite confident that PCA dates etc will not be delayed. I'd guess PCAs will be held by February.

    Are the PCAs held every 4/5 weeks aswell then? So those that have received vetting forms will say have their PCAs feburary then the next batch have theirs in March or do they just roll them all out together?

    When you get your pca in the post how long do you wait until you do it? I've read 2 weeks notice then on others 4 - weeks.

    I THINK, its 2 weeks until your familiar visit to the PCA and its a further 2 or 4 weeks until the actual PCA date. It depends I suppose on how fast they are looking to get people in etc.

    Basically due to funding cuts your application isn't being processed at this time but should funding become available it may be considered!
