    I was meant to have mine this week but someone in my bubble went and caught coronavirus so no familiarisation for me! I've now got to go into it blind :/

    Was it that bad?

    Oh no that’s grim!!

    It was okay. Great to see everything in person and have a go. People found different things harder depending on height.

    They advised max effort at all times so it’s more that what I’m worrying about. Deffo gonna boke

    Well I mean really, if they are going to insist on making us do this, then they should expect a bit of boke.

    Sounds like the advice hasn't changed: give it dixie, don't knock anything over.

    I'm 6'1 so mostly worried about knocking the bars off the steps, just gotta remember to stay low.

    Anyone know if you are allowed to record your own time on the day of the PCA?

    So if there’s 8 steps in the course means that we have about 10 seconds to complete each step allowing for travel to and from each obstacle, I think it seems pretty handy with the 4.30 time :)

    3 weeks for vetting is unheard off. Congrats

    Usually the norm is between 9-16 weeks however don’t be surprised if it goes over 20, 30 or 40 weeks

    I've heard on good authority there will only be two interim lists passed across to the managed stages, so I'd say thats all the FT gone for this campaign. Dec wait for the rest of us!

    Would you know up to what date of the AC were the 2 batches of FT chosen? Roughly

    If that's the case, would just need to wait for Dec or later. Had mine last week. All the best to everyone and stay safe.

    Whether you get a fast track email or not, at this time you're still in the running to get into gv. That's the goal. When you're on the street no one gives a rat ass whether you are fast track or not. Keep the main goal in your sights and keep going. Fast track means nothing when you're in gv and even less whe you're out and about. Well done for all who are fast track and keep going with the hard work. Well done for all who have got this far. Its a tough process so just keep going.

    Thanks for saying this. Fast track ceases to be relevant the moment you get the call.

    I'm not diminishing the efforts of people who are fast tracked. To come this far, you have done so well, so remeber that. My point is, no one cares whether you were fast tracked when you're in gv and out on the ground it means nothing. Keep your focus on the stages to come and don't let this distract you. Keep pushing yourselves and keep your eye on the prize. You may even over take the fast trackers because of vetting etc. You're awesome for getting this far. Keep going.

    Hi everyone, long time lurker.
    I'm waiting on vetting coming through 6 weeks now and have seen others passed in 3 weeks. How is everyone coping with the wait?? Slowly killing me

    Gonzo's vetting took nine months. The three weeks thing is absolutely the exception and not the rule. Don't let it get to you. Just focus on getting the PCA, medical, and online learning done, and hope it comes before Santa does ;)

    6 weeks would mean you got the vetting forms before the first bunch of FTs...
