    Nope. I only wear pink panties. You'll see soon enough.

    I have it on good authority that they do not frown on you wearing pink panties under your uniform whilst show parading you.

    As long as you send em photos after ;)

    But what is £1.74 in the grand scheme of things. Come the end of May we're gonna be in the pennies man!

    Although, only being a by the hour minimum wage worker atm, i can't quite gather what the monthly wage will be after tax and what not. One of you boys can keep me right.

    Smash the salary into netsalarycalculator (via Google)

    All depends on your tax code, student loans etc. But with the allowance added on it should make out a half decent net salary. :)

    £1,333 ish for 19k gross salary exactly.

    I've got one really good friend and two people I know from my hometown in GV at the minute so I am very very lucky!!
    Is there a purple badge or Something? I thought it was just a class name!

    Also Mop, I feel like you're the person to ask - Definations and what not. When do we get access to them? I'm going from full time to part time this week coming to give me more time to gather up stuff/get the flat sorted/go over my online learning again before starting. Do we get access after the induction or what the story?
    Also, what is the content of the new stuff we get before GV?

    We get coloured epaulettes for your squad. So trainers know what squad you're in.

    Start learning courtesy now!!! Youll get access to the online learning the day after induction weekend. There's 10 that need to be learned off by heart for week 8 exams theyve changed things for us slightly. We won't do week 2 exams, well do week 5 then 8, 16 and finals like normal. There's 10 more to learn for week 16 exams. You need 90% pass rate for them but it's a fill in the missing word.

    Definitions, NI justice system, laws of evidence( I cried at that one) human rights, stop and search all the good stuff. Don't panic it's all doable especially since you're going PT.

    Start buying black sports wear. Small logos only. Youll need bedding towels and only 3 electrical items. The girls inmynsquad have organised among ourselves what we're bringing and sharing

    This is why I love the boards.

    This is good news - I have a slight head start in the Definations bit (criminology graduate. I know, don't shoot me) but I'm sure I'll be just as frustrated as everyone else.

    I've got all my bulling stuff, an iron, bedding and stationary. I do need some new sports stuff though. What the Craic with trainers? Do they need to be black, or are my purple ones OK (I've soo nailed purple squad without even knowing.)

    Purple trainers are fine, our squad have a rainbow ranging from black or white to yellow or pink ... And that's just the guys! As long as your actual PE kit is black the trainers aren't an issue!

    So if you live like 20 mile away and apply to stay after four weeks then how do you know when to come in each morning. If you are getting last minute show paraded or something?

    If you apply to live in you should be staying in GV most nights but you can put a form in to stay at home through the week. You'll know if you have a show parade for that day as it's given for that night. After 4 weeks and if you dint live in you'll so a show parade in the corridor or very early on another morning but you'll know about it. Lots of show parades the first week in particular but it's part of the whole experience and you can have good banter while you wait for the trainers to come and inspect your room.

    Try and learn learn the definitions listed under week 8 exam first before you start to make life a little easier. I learned about half the definitions before I started which helped massively. Definitely learn courtesy and the caution first though. I was speaking to an ex superintendent just the other day whose been out for 20 years now and has dementia and we started rhyming it off together!!!

    This is the best plan. Also sort with your roommate (if you get one) who will bring the iron and ironing board. Not much room to spare in the hotel!
