I'd like to think you would have a letter by this Friday, so you can give your employer 1 months notice

Are the MFS required to give you 4 weeks to give notice?

No, it is just to allow new recruits to give enough time. Most employers fall below 4 weeks, but it is more goodwill.

I suspect it is more about 18 ppl accepting the offer, and giving the recruit instructors enough time to organise TRK's, uniforms, lockers, induction. Starting 18 new employees at once is obviously a lot of work compared to a 'normal' job where you start just 1 or 2 together

Pretty sure the 4 weeks is for recruits to give notice and make other arrangements in their lives. Many may be dropping a lot of money in pay for the 14 weeks and have to organise other parts of their lives.
Pretty sure the instructors would be organised already, its not like its the first ever drill squad. Hardest thing they have to do is write the recruits names on their lockers :-D :-D

Oops, sorry. I have spent to much time in the training environment.

Training Resource Kits.   So the folders/learner guides/trainer assessor guides etc

Given the cost of preparing, and the contents having to be current, most organizations won't print/make too many in advance, just so they don't have to edit pages, or throw them away.

I shouldn't laugh but its funny. I was the same a few years ago. Don't try to guess or presume when things will happen. It will all happen eventually. If you have passed medical and pat2 you will get an offer. They just take their sweet time

There are 3 or 4 having to re do respiratory medicals, and the 'can you do Pirie or Mt Gambier' ph calls have happened this week too.  'They' are saying letters of offer this week

Mr T, is it a "can you do" regional or a "will you do". I thought if they ticked the willing to go regional box then they wouldnt have a choice.
I would guess that maybe 2 extras did pat2 but they would have been told they were spares
