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 · « **Reply #376 on:** July 13, 2011, 05:49:59 PM »

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.

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.

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?

Pretty sure they have 4 reserves already

triple j · « **Reply #388 on:** July 14, 2011, 01:28:33 PM »

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

Sammy · « **Reply #389 on:** July 14, 2011, 02:18:41 PM »

Thor, how did ya go mate?

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 · « **Reply #391 on:** July 14, 2011, 06:45:49 PM »

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

Thor · « **Reply #392 on:** July 14, 2011, 06:48:52 PM »

How'd u go tammey

tft · « **Reply #393 on:** July 14, 2011, 07:26:11 PM »

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

tft · « **Reply #394 on:** July 14, 2011, 07:29:06 PM »

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.

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

tft · « **Reply #396 on:** July 14, 2011, 10:13:42 PM »

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 · « **Reply #398 on:** July 14, 2011, 10:24:28 PM »

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

triple j · « **Reply #399 on:** July 14, 2011, 11:02:49 PM »

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