RECRUITMENT 2011

[senti@nt]

I can see that people are saying people have been notified about the second drill squad.  But has anyone here ACTUALLY been notified themselves? Or are we all running on heresay as usual?

Seems the second drill squad gets a lot more warning in prep for PAT2 than first drill squad...

Not really, if you applied earlier this year then you were told approximately when the pat2 was gonna be months in advance.

Eh true that.

I'm still wondering if anyone has actually heard themselves that they're in.  Just trying to keep my hopes up

Good luck to Thor, Tammy and the rest of the drill squad for tomorrow.

Yes I can confirm, my partner has been notified of second drill squad and has a letter confirming PAT2 date.

[senti@nt]

No worries. Thanks for confirming that ABS

Received an invite to the PAT 2 & medical / Respiratory tests... not an actual position offering

[triple j]

All the best then Johnny, Hope all works out for you!

[triple j]

Hey Johnny, Have they given u a booked doctors appointment? Because i would think if they have then you would have to be a certainty... Good luck

[triple j]

Hi Ferret.. Do u know where all the graduates were posted too?

everyone is advised of a follow up doctors appointment, it is only kept if you pass the pat 2.
good luck for the pat2 johnny, when is your test?

[Monger]

Hi Ferret.. Do u know where all the graduates were posted too?

2 to port pirie. Rest to metro.

The old 2 to Port Pirie, how many over the last 10 years have gone to Port Pirie?

[Johnny]

Thanks Triple J!

Doctors appointment & Respiratory are booked in a couple days after the PAT 2 (assuming you pass of course)...

Not sure on the numbers but it is a 5 year term up there now so instead of having brand new recruits every 2 years they have slightly more experienced people. Samfs want pirie locals to apply but Adelaide people are so desperate to get in a lot are saying they will go just to have a slightly better chance of getting recruited

[triple j]

Ferret did they get put in a relief position or a permanent station?

Several of the older guys are going to pirie, but its luck of the draw, they can't get pirie locals to do retained let alone fulltime, then again the fulltime crew treat retained like crap, so thats not surprising.

Maybe the Pirie "locals" who are applying are not meeting the standards that the MFS sets when recruiting full time applicants. If people who live in Adelaide are desperate to get in and tick the Port Pirie box then they can only blame themselves for a 250km drive a few times a week for 5 years. Pretty sure the 5 year term was meant to deter people from doing it but obviously not

Hi all, I was one of the candidates that came out of the last interview stage with one of the "Stay Fit" letters. I've been following this forum and have read that some people who initially received "Stay Fit" letters have since been called up for the next round of tests. I unfortunately didn't receive a call up but was just wondering if anyone could shed some light on where to go from here. Is it likely that there will be another calling from this group, or is it more likely that the standard application process will begin again? Having said that though I still haven't received any further notification yet to say that my application is no longer valid. Cheers

Sorry mate but it looks like youv'e missed out. Sounds like there will not be anymore drill squads and next recruitment will be a fresh intake.
