    I love these threads for two reasons.

    Firstly it's great to see good folk get the call they've been waiting for for so long and worked so hard to get.
    And secondly takes out some serious competition out of C3 :D

    Best of luck folks!

    Haha, I said the exact same thing to myself Homer, when campaign 1 folks were getting calls when they were waiting for their AC for campaign 2 lol. My ac for campaign 3 was for Feb too, obviously i'll be politely saying I think I'm going to have to miss that lol. Is yours soon mate?

    I'm up in few weeks. Looking forward to it; planning to get stuck right in. Passing isn't good enough, really need to get as high possible.
    Hopefully I'll get there :)

    Well done to everyone who got the calls etc. Im going into my 6th week now and its flown in! Just keep your head down when your in here, suck it up, give no lip, give everything 110% and youll be grand. Dont let your standards slip ie hair- ladies make sure to keep it tied up, males make sure to get a haircut every two weeks etc, beards, shaving every morning and before show parades etc and use your time wisely. When you get an hour for lunch try and get in early and get to the computer lab to print stuff off, go up and hoover your room(there are only two hoovers per floor...), do some ironing etc. You will be tired and feeling stressed but don't give up.

    Business smart mate, suit and tie, or the equivalent for ladies. Heard stories of folks walking up in jeans and a shirt and the whole squad end up doing a show parade first thing on intake Sunday because of it lol. Uniformed discipline from now onwards, our old lives are long behind us now haha.

    During hours of training what uniform do you wear? Green trousers and jacket, shirt and tie and boots?

    Depends what you're doing. If you're doing a practical assessment you wear the full works. Gun belt and body armour too. It it's just normal classroom work then boots, trousers, shirts and tie. If it's cold you'll wear softshells.

    It's no problem, I've seen loads of people do it, it's just better to be over cautious.

    I probably post a lot a stuff that wasn't allowed when first joined lol.

    Goodluck with your induction.
