    Hows everyone keeping?

    Noticed the chat has been quiet for a while. I suppose we are all just watching the days go past waiting on some movement?

    Ive found it hard to stick at keeping active / the gym. With no date to work towards im struggling. Hows the rest of you finding it?

    Hey I hope you're keeping well. Yea it has been very quiet,i think everyone has been trying to keep their minds occupied lol unless they are working their way through the process. Still waiting on word for my PCA at the minute.

    I know how you feel about the training,I was doing well for a month or so then fell away there recently. I'm trying to do a bit 2-3 times a week between running,swimming and cycling. Try to just keep yourself ticking over until you get your date. Then once you have tour date you can lift the intensity a bit. That's my plans anyways lol.

    Hope we dont have to wait too long before we hear,understand the previous threads now when they complained about the wait. Our time will come.

    Did you receive an email to confirm your vetting had passed? I’m only a few behind you in the merit list so hopefully I’ll hear back soon

    Ahh, I know they are up to around 100 in the September intake. That’ll give you an idea of how many are awaiting vetting, PCA pass, failed medical or otherwise deferring etc.

    Getting very ahead of myself here but ML in the 900's, anyone got any ideas of a PCA invite timescale for a score in this bracket? Hope it isn't too long but from what I've read from the last campaign, it makes me think it could be a fair wee while yet...

    Sorry to hear! Hope it gets better soon. I've been completely neglecting the training, need to step it up! Just curious as to how long it might take to progress to PCA so I know how long I have haha.

    If going off the 1710 campaign when I did my PCA a few months back it was mixed with people from 1710 and us and I think their ML no was up around the 900's same with medical

    The wall requires upper body strength. Running is a good base, I would recommend push ups and burpees, these will be part of the ongoing fitness tests in garnerville so the sooner you start the easier your training will be.

    Hi all. Only recently found this site. I’m on the merit list too.. between 400-420. Received an email the other day inviting me to attend PCA. No mention of the medical on it though. I thought it was conducted on the same day? New to the process and any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    When your consultant closed your file they should have carried out a final functional assessment with a PT's input.
