Thread: Were are you with your application process? - ARCHIVE

WooHoo. ACIO receptionist lass rang. My Rec SGT is back early and im to pop in this afternoon to continue the application stuff. Beats the expected weeks delay anyday lol

get some docs photocopied, rearrange my BARB test as they somehow accidently cancelled

Very happy with my GP, I gave him the forms yesterday and was hoping he would fill them in then, but he told me to leave them with him. I came away a little put down, thinking about the possibility of weeks of waiting. Then he called me a 9am this morning and told me they were ready for collection! Good stuff, im in work later... so I will have to run these down to the AFCO first thing in the morning. Then it's just a matter of ADSC clearing them (fingers crossed). I have pre-selection a week on friday but I think im going to have to cancel for a later one because i've still got a bit of sore leg and haven't been able to train in running. Hope they don't mind too much.

Result then Liam mate!! :D

Popped into my AFCO earlier to double check the Med Forms were filled in correctly and all sound to be sent up to Pirbright. Everything was fine and he said he'd send them up. Asked about why ADSC ask for more info, as like I mentioned I was a tad worried about them asking for more info based on my Med Forms being filled in without my Med History, but apparently its only really when they want more info on something you've answered yes to. Everything was 'No' on mine, except 'one tooth taken out over 5 years ago', but that was it, so that put my mind at rest a bit.

Also asked how long roughly it would take for them to come back all clear so I can get cracking with the Interview stage. He said if I haven't heard anything in 4 weeks, give them a call, but I WILL be phoning them every week from today for an update on it though

Would like everything in place and all done including a pass over in Pirbright ADSC, but as I said I won't be able to get on an intake till earliest late February next year, but have some excellent news on the monotonous phone monkey'ville job front though. I tend to find when im not at work im more active in my training routine and no beer no junk food thing ive got going on. So after a good bit of saving (thanks to giving up going out for a few drinks every week) ive got enough doshlings for my current spend including everything else, for the next 8 months :D and a prospect of laboring throughout the summer with a friend of the family for more than im actually earning now. And as im leaving on good terms with my current phone monkey job, they've said im welcome back anytime, so its a safety net should something go tits up with my entry. A safety I really don't want to fall into, but a safety net never the less. So enough money, the prospect of earning more than I earn as in fill before Phase 1 and more time to be active in my Training and Eating Routine...!! Good times!!

Cool dude. Saw my Rec SGT today, and I now have my BARB tomoro at 10am. woop

Best of Luck Smiler mate you should walk it..!! :D

Yeah thats pretty much what im feeling in regards to the phone monkey life at the mo Liam but im gonna see out the rest of this month and all of July next month, then im a free man or i'll be earning a bit more and being physically active labouring, either of which i'll be feckin' happy with if I get to leave that monotonous desk job, train more, eat better and just all round feel more motivated working towards my new life ahead in The Army :D

Just looked at the photo on my MoD90 from bout 2002ish.......dunno how I survived having hair like that geeeeeez
