    Hey

    The guy who completed my SMT said I wouldn't have been sent to him if I hadn't passed the medical. The Nurse who checked my audio, sight and lung function said they were all 100% for the job, so i'm taking that as a good thing. the Dr said the results would be with me before the end of the week.

    Lol.

    Fair enough. You'll get letter within 2-3 days if you passed.

    The hair guy never said that to me but I suppose that makes complete sense they wouldn't send you for the hair test if you hadn't passed the other bits.

    Did you tell him about your verging on dangerous abuse of marajoanna?? ;)

    Yeah that's what i was thinking too - there's no point sending recruits for expensive, outside-contracted tests if they don't fit criteria.
    As for the wacky-backy, I claimed either my herbal drink consumption, or scenty burny sticks, that you get from hippy shops.

    I told him about my evil twin. Any drug they take magically would end up in my hair somehow. Hopefully he falls for it

    Be prepared to wait. I applied in sept 2013, didn't get in GV until the first quarter of 2015! Two years between applying and graduating. Keep the faith, and keep the patience. You'll need it, and good luck!

    Hey guys.

    Letter came this morning. Fit and waiting to work. Mike, my application is now 22 months old, so I know what you're saying. I know another wait is on the cards but with another couple of intakes to go, I'm hoping we won't be waiting much longer.

    I know of more than one person who had the drugs test who received a medical fail, I think if you're border line and might have grounds to appeal they still send you for drugs testing incase you pass on appeal. I'd say this is the exception though.

    Another couple of intakes? Prediction or known?

    Just wondering (hoping) is all..... :)

    You can join PCplonker, floral and myself. This stage is actually the most frustrating wait of all (as I am just recently discovering)....

    Sort of prediction. I asked a woman from deloitte at my c3 ac day a few weeks ago. She said there was to be three more from c2 ( no indication if that was purely c2 or a c2/c3 combo, and that was before the April intake was called.) Although, I'm unsure of how solid that info is, so I'm baring a purely speculative stance at this point. (that's proper speak for wishful thinking ) I'm not sure how important ac scores are though, I have 65.5 and only just passed my medical on Tuesday, so...

    Oh good job. Hopefully that is spot on as I have a feeling we missed out on the calls this time around.

    So if there would be two more then fingers crossed we might get that phonecall :)

    I'm disappointed in who the caller is generally, nevermind whilst waiting for any potential call.

    These days I pick up and say hello. Then I proceed to hang up if it's not who I'm hoping for. Unless it's my mother. Never would hang up on her :)

    Iamveryhopeful, I hope we be on the same crew, I feel we will get on enormously. Provided you enjoy blackbooks. For I am the female Bernard Black (personality wise of course, not the wine drinking. Ish.)

    Lol. Genuinely had never heard of it until I just looked it up.
    Bernard black likes to drink, smoke read and insult people apparently. Haha ;)

    I like to insult nobody more than myself truth be told.
    Oh and PCmisinformed....

    I only got these yesterday as it says mine was about to expire. Have you emailed them to find out? I emailed in Feb as I hadn't heard anything back, and was told they'd completed in November.

    Will keep an eye on the post tomorrow then! I have been emailing and phoning constantly but still no joy.... did my PCA in November and medical in December hoping I'm not going to have to repeat them again :(

    if your vetting is cleared I wonder why they want you to fill out more forms, maybe ring them tomorrow?

    But if you were told your vetting had been completed in November surely you wouldn't need to do any extra forms?

    The process is crazy, and so unpredictable, really don't know if you're coming or going with them!

    You would have thought, I'm just scared now that they won't have them processed in time for a may intake :/ which is very annoying

    Only ever heard of the financial forms being sent out to a few folk. Never heard of these others. Maybe give them a ring if there's a number

    Needless to say the March calls look to be over and done with, leaving those of us waiting, wondering when the next set of calls will be....week starting the 11th April look like a good shout?

    Is it commonplace (based on previous campaigns) to have a pool of candidates with everything passed who end up just not getting a call? Would anyone know this either from past experience or hearsay?
