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!!
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 induction0 -

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 :-)0 -

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 thenJohannes_Cabal wrote: »iamveryhopeful wrote: »Besides guessing I'm not sure who would know for sure on this one buddy.

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!!0 -

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.0 -

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??0 -
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!iamveryhopeful wrote: »
I think I'm sorted for induction. Nowhere near sorted for start date though.Delilahbeau wrote: »How're we all doing folks?
Not a long time to go now!
Anyone sitting here cursing their luck they'll miss the euros?? Lol
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 0 -

We have the induction weekend completed buddy, but not quite in yet. I am happy to say that my fellow squad mates were all dead on and it was a pleasure meeting those that I had the chance to meet.MikeOneJuliet wrote: »Well, how is hotel GV treating you lot?
That in itself sort of puts your mind at ease. Although I fully expect to get hammered from day one by the staff 0 -

The only advice you need is to get your head down and work hard. Take a good sense of humour in with you cause you'll need it. You never know, you may even see me knocking around some evenings as I use the gym there and sometimes us the computers! If I can pass it, anyone can! Just takes the right mindset 0 -

I think it was 4 weeks from the last set of calls whenever we got ours though. I think (from memory) we were all predicting them to come the week after they did.Whataboutye wrote: »So it is! For some reason I had in my head yous got the call in the 6th!
You really cant predict them! 0 -

Half looking forward to getting stuck in, half terrifiedSo how are you all feeling?!?! Online done? Nerves setting in yet? Any questions give me a shout. I'll try to answer them as best I can
I am looking forward to getting stuck in to the physical aspect and the class learning etc but am not looking forward to uniform prep (ironing and the like).
How are you finding it a few weeks in?0 -
The ironing I have nailed plus unless you've got tattoos on your arms you're starting off in short sleeves. I've got a massive peg to clip my shirt as you'll literally need 3 hands to iron. I'll show you what I mean when you're here. I might be here for your intake day if not I'll see you all the next day your in.
Still loving it. PE is a bit rough on you at the time but buzzing after today's session. Bulling boots takes a bit of practice but everyone is awesome and we've great craic in our classes. Looking forward to not being the junior squad. Your weeks will fly in. Almost 4 done already in the blink of an eye.
Your intake day will totally overwhelm you but seriously play the game and don't take anything personally, yes sir/ma'am/staff, no sir/ma'am/staff! BE A TEAM PLAYER!!!!! Prepare yourself for early mornings, long days and late nights for the first few weeks. We weren't too bad cos we got our **** together as a squad pretty sharp. It's amazing, walking through the doors of GV under that PSNI sign, it's best decision you've ever made in your life.

Eugh! Early mornings and long days whilst trying to take things in during class.

Still, didn't do two years to tap out now
I'm all ears for any and all advice on how to struggle through whenever I get in.
I.have a sneaky suspicion we are going to get beasted by the trainers. 0 -
