Thor did you need to inform the Doc about your knee recon at the medical? I have had one done years ago as well.

Thor · July 26, 2011, 11:39:55 AM

Yeah mate you hav to disclose all that stuff. Took a letter from my surgeon. Plus the doc checks yr joint pretty hard!!!

JLS · July 26, 2011, 08:18:37 PM

Cheers Thor. I should be fine if I get the chance just was curious on how deep they dig.

Thor · July 26, 2011, 09:15:24 PM

Good stuff mate. Any concerns see yr doctor first and get the all clear.

Sammy · July 27, 2011, 12:12:59 PM

Thor, do they do the strength tests? The pull and push kind?

Thor · July 27, 2011, 12:19:50 PM

Sure do!

Thor · July 27, 2011, 06:53:24 PM

Hey Ferret, any more word on how many drill squqds they will do from this intake? It seems like a massive task just to recruit 18 people?

Ferret might know more but i have heard from a number of people in the service a range of different versions of how many squads will be taken and how many have been placed in the pool. I suppose until you are in the door on your first day anything could happen from the stories on this forum.

The MFS probably dont know yet, will depend on retirements and funding i would guess.

gasman · July 29, 2011, 02:09:43 PM

Hey Ferret, still no feedback on interview as yet. They were supposed to start the feedback on monday and it was on a first in first served basis. I think i waited a few days before i registered for my feedback. Will keep you posted.

triple j · July 29, 2011, 10:37:56 PM

The word has to be out pretty soon punters!!!! good luck to you guys and girls who have made it!!

triple j · July 30, 2011, 04:17:56 PM

Seems to have gone very quiet on the forum..is everyone all a bit over it? Or have people heard good news?

triple j · July 30, 2011, 04:58:26 PM

Hi Ferret, I think u may of inboxed my message on the forum, but i'm having trouble accessing it.... My Quote was that it's a big campaign just to recruit 18 people!! and I think u may have replied to it. I want more than anything for my husband to get into the job because I know how much it means to him, but for him to not to even get an interview and one of his good mates being put on the "Maintain Fitness" list makes it hard for him. How old were u Ferret When u joined? And also thanx for all the information u have provided to everyone during this campaign..You sound like a very passionate Firefighter.

Thanks for that Ferret, I shall pass it on to him.

Thor · August 01, 2011, 12:05:09 PM

Tammey u had any word???

triple j · August 04, 2011, 04:17:47 PM

Has anyone had any feedback with their interviews? Thor and Tammey have you both made the drill squad?

Tammey · August 04, 2011, 04:28:28 PM

Sorry been away from the computer, still no word, no letter. Been contacted by recruitment this week as they're chasing a reference up from the UK. Given it a helpful push and hope SAMFS will have a copy sometime tomorrow. Looks like it wont be this week but heading out for a celebratory meal tomorrow night just to toast on getting this far.

Thor · August 04, 2011, 07:28:26 PM

Well we've passed everything. But not told anything. Still hangin till we get a letter. Would hope it's only a formality now.

Tammey · August 09, 2011, 11:20:35 AM

A pack of paperwork arrived at my house by Express Post about half an hour ago. In it, among lots of other stuff, is a letter hand signed by the Chief Fire Officer congratulating me & offering me a place on the recruit course starting 12th September. Champagne in the fridge and off out to celebrate tonight! :-D :-D :-D

Thor · August 09, 2011, 12:45:35 PM

Well done congratulations!!!!! Nothin 4 me yet. Did it come by courier??
