    Hi I appliedfor the navy recruitment 2015, I passed all stages and have a medical on July 27th. I was just wondering was anybody else at this stage too?

    This thread is for the 2014 army applicants

    Would you have already received an e mail by now stating you were unfit at medical?. Congrats to the lads who have a start date. I'm just curious to know how the selection process works.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 51 ✭✭M763


    I think it just depends on which barracks your dealing with.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11 XredZerX


    I heard that there was 200 medicals done in the curragh does anyone know how many are starting in august? so i can have a rough idea on whats happening.

    200 got called for the medical. so yeah altogether. i'd say not every one turned up or passed so it could be less.

    ya like it was 11 due for mine but one never showed and one failed and i say that was the same with most, so that could easily knock 20/30 out of it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11 XredZerX


    yeah not everyone is going to wait around for something that wasn't guaranteed.

    training starts august september and october. Everyone who passed the medical will all be recruited by the end of the year. there are maybe up to 5-6 different platoons so it takes time to prioritise.

    I would of liked them to send us an E-mail of the results of the medical and then another one following of the date we will commece our training.

    There is very little we can do at this point but to await our results. I know alot of people are curious to know because of dates booked holidays etc.. hopefully we all hear something soon best of luck to those awaiting an e-mail.

    Lads be using this time as an advantage not everyone completes training. You want to try get as fit as you can to make it easier on yourself when your there "fail to prepare, prepare to fail". I'd say some lads who got a date wished they had more time train cause it was really only 2 weeks notice the were given.

    Any word lads

    How do you know?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 51 ✭✭M763


    He doesn't know. Although understandably pessimistic given the length of time this process has took. Il say this though if you had failed your medical you would have heard by now and also that the lads dealing dealing with the curragh seem to have always got replies a week or two before the lads dealing with the bruagh.

    No. When the money is allocated we will get an email. The budget is coming up soon. Its obviously going to happen when theyve invested so much time.

    Your man at the medical told me we should be starting in September obviously can't rely on what anyone says well just have to wait for the email, does anyone know if you pass your medical will you definitely be starting or is there still a chance you might not get it?
