RECRUITMENT 2011

[Monger]

One go at pat 2!!!!!!

They have changed this then. In the past if you failed pat2 you were given another opportunity when they tested for the next drill squad.
So did the guys/girls on forum tick or agree to be employed at either Pt Pirie, metro or Mt gambier??

[Thor]

Yeah mate I did. Would prefer the piere than the mount. Any comments from any that passed or failed pat 2?? I'm up tomorrow.

[Johnny]

nah i didnt pick pirie or mount gambier

[Thor]

Why's that ferret

[Sammy]

Yeah mate I did. Would prefer the piere than the mount. Any comments from any that passed or failed pat 2?? I'm up tomorrow.

Excited mate? Have you been doing anything to prepare for it? All the best for tomorrow

[Thor]

Yeah mate keen to do it. Watched pat2 video. Trained runnin ect. Had a cold fir last 2 weeks!! Good to go !

[gasman]

Good luck Thor, i did the pat 2 about four yeras ago, absolutely loved it. Only advice i would give is do not drop anything. Especially the life line in the tunnel crawl.... Mate have a blast

[Thor]

Thanks mate. Howd u go when u did it. Howd u find the time limits??

Life-line? Is that the rope you hold onto to guide you through the tunnel? Is it relatively simple to get through as long as you keep hold of that rope??

Yeah the life line is the rope to guide you through. Make sure you always have one hand on the rope, when you come to a point where it is tied off, feel around with other hand til you find the rope again. Just take your time and dont panic, you do not have to race thru any of the tests. If you progress steadily you will have no problems with your overall time.

[BT085]

Ferret- do u recall approx how many times the rope was tied off and u had to find the new one within the tunnel? Was it also a hands and knees excercise or more crouching/walking? That one probably for me would be the most challenging compared to the other excercises-did u feel the same?

Help me understand! will the people who got the "Stay Fit" email be given a chance to do the pat 2 if people fail it or have they already got reserves to fill these spots?

[Monger]

Pretty sure they have 4 reserves already

[triple j]

Thanks Ferret, And do these reserves get first preference for the next drill squad if they do one?

[Sammy]

Thor, how did ya go mate?

[Monger]

Thanks Ferret, And do these reserves get first preference for the next drill squad if they do one?

Im not 100% sure, im only going on what they have done in the past. but i would presume the reserves would be ranked 1-4 for the next drill squad if they run one.

[Thor]

Passed pat2. Measured up for uniform. Just got medical to go.

[Thor]

How'd u go tammey

[tft]

Good luck, but a few guys have been measured up for uniforms before  ans still missed out.

[tft]

With being on the waiting list anything is possible.
From missing out and applying again to getting called up 8 months later and being told to come in for the Pat 2.
So stay fit just in-case.

[Monger]

Good luck, but a few guys have been measured up for uniforms before  ans still missed out.

Don't be a party pooper TFT. They have jobs, drill squad starting September.

[tft]

Not being a party pooper, but getting all measured up and being told you are first reserve sucks.

[Monger]

Not being a party pooper, but getting all measured up and being told you are first reserve sucks.

Yeah it would but surely the reserves were told they were spares before the pat2

[tft]

Not sure about this drill squad, but in the past not until very late.

[triple j]

Does anyone know how likely they are to be running more than one drill squad from this intake?
