    I’m 500’s and still haven’t been called either. I would say to just hold tight and wait our turns really. I don’t understand how they are not going by the OOM number by number.

    Ring the number of the form and explain yourself if you don't get sorted. Yer man is quite nice there. Hopefully they can schedule you in the next batch if you miss the deadline.
    On the plus side the deadline only says Friday, so once you have it in by 11:59pm you should be good.

    I'm from the North and my GP surgery you leave letter in and have to pay I think either 5/15£ and they sign your stuff off for you. I had to get one before for something else and didn't know this so I just asked my GP at end of an appointment. He did sign for me but just made me aware of procedure. Not sure why they won't do it for you maybe try ask if they do this? Hope you get sorted

    Does anybody know whether we are allowed to pick from a bunch of dates for the last stages, as we did with the previous ones, or are we given a day and, no matter what, you can't change it? I'm thinking, for example, if you have a work appointment, or a long-planned holiday...

    They'll be on a Saturday if that's any help.

    If that's the case you'd imagine they'd start the 2nd of February, along with the 9th and possibly 16th depending on how many numbers they're taking in the first batch. Needless to say, it's complete speculation.

    Anyone having trouble getting their GP letter signed?
    Apparently my doctors surgery doesn’t offer such things and I have been waiting two days for a private clinic to contact me back to see if they do it. Not refusing on medical groups GP was happy to print my medical history just wouldn’t sign any forms - really worried that I won’t get it sorted

    Had to put up a bit of a fight myself as they didn’t know what it was about at all! Doctor asked if he needed to watch me do the fitness test in his office and all I could think of was “yeah where do you keep the cones for the shuttle run” haha in the end he did a very quick check up and stamped it for €60 as I’ve only been to a doctor once before so he didn’t know what to do!

    I’ve no idea really but the impression I get from the email with the gp form is that we will be given a date.

    Some people did alright, don't know if they'd reply to everyone but might be worth ringing. I got a bounce back email saying their inbox was full so had to ring them to sort it.
    Haven't heard anything since.

    If you’ve had you sargeant interview he/she will be the one passing it onto the super once they’re happy to give you a “positive” response following the interview :) this could all depend on where you are too as it doesn’t look like loads of people have had their super interviews yet (maybe I’m wrong?)

    Has anybody here made inquiries about their vetting. Can you find out if it is complete or still being processed?
    From reading other Threads it seams some people have been waiting up to 2 years after medical and fitness test to get a call for training due to hold ups with their vetting..

    Most of those people would be a very small minority. People who don't get held up aren't posting on forums!

    If you are from the 2018 campaign I wouldn't go calling about vetting at the mo! Very early days sure none of us even have a date for fitness do we?
