    I don't mean any official number attached to your squad in GV or anything like that, I just mean how many intakes have there been before you, I think it's about 10 but not 100%.

    I have no idea, I've never sat down and counted.

    I'm filling out the human resources section of the booklet we have to bring with us to the induction weekend but not sure about a couple of bits . . . .. . hoping someone can help out . . .
    is the Appointment Date bit under personal details the date of the induction weekend or the date we start in Garnerville?
    and under family/relative details do I need to include my sister/brother in laws and nieces/nephews if I have any or just my immediate family?

    It's all getting a little bit real now, handed in my notice at work and trying to see if my partner can get away from work for a quick hol before we start . . . .. exciting times but def a bit scared too!!

    The Appointment date is the May date.

    I would include them just to be safe - I included mine, there's no harm, especially as its for the security databases.

    Haha a wee sneaky holiday. I half considered one myself. Getting all tanned for the marching?? :)

    I went may for the start date too. I'm hoping they don't rescind their offer when they see me at induction

    Besides guessing I'm not sure who would know for sure on this one buddy.

    I'd answer if I knew. No surprises that I don't :)

    I think I'm sorted for induction. Nowhere near sorted for start date though.

    Anyone sitting here cursing their luck they'll miss the euros?? Lol

    I had a look through the threads and seen that the first squad received call roughly 9 months ago, so you guys would be 8 or 9 I think (there wasn't a December squad right?)

    Cheers though :-)

    no mate. I look like a pretty little princess with my flowing locks and innocent smile.

    I would say that estimation looks about spot on. If by December squad you mean starting in December then I am not sure. If you mean calls in December to start January, I am near certain someone I know started around then

    Guys just looking to get all my info in order for induction weekend and also intake day.

    Does anyone know if both parts of the driving licence are needed on intake day, or just photo part? I have lost the counterpart and will mean applying for a brand new licence to get the counterpart - I could do without the stress of waiting for this to arrive if possible!

    Did you plan to go to many of the games? I've tickets for the 3 group games, flights, trains and accommodation sorted, but still waiting on a call myself. Going by the dates and what I've heard, I wouldn't be in the May intake, hoping they are going to have one in July or after. I have a friend however who turned down the job for the Euros, I'm not planning to make that same mistake!

    I think it's just the plastic, I don't see a reason for them to need the paper aswell, (also I've got no idea where mine is either :/)

    Remember and get passport photos done if you haven't already done it this week!!

    You will need paper and plastic part to your license

    If you don't have it, don't fret. You'll just need to bring it along on your first day of GV.

    I don't have paper part unfortunately. It takes weeks to send off for one so I'd not have had it in time even if I'd send it off on the say I got a call.

    Whenever I went into the passport booth to get my passport photos done it shat itself and broke. Does this mean I'm too pretty??

    No actually I wasn't going to go to any of them. I just meant it's likely to be quite busy in GV. Might not get the chance to watch any games at all.

    And that's mad. But fair play. He has his priorities lol :)
