SA Firefighter

I completely understand mate as I am in exactly the same boat. I was in that very first group of 17 to get through everything including the psych test, but unfortunately for some unknown reason to me I too missed out this year. I know of three female applicants who all failed the pat2 test first time round. They then got a second opportunity to complete the test (as everyone does), they passed and they have all been accepted into recruit courses this year. Luck.... I don't know. To bust your balls and come so close is tough. But you need to have faith in the system as it's the system that will get us in. I guess the thing I'd really like to know is where I am on the list? How far down 

I'll be looking to next year and if need be the year after that and so on. I heard that they are going to take on 100+ recruits over the next few years so hopefully the opportunity will come up 

If it's the one in North Adelaide.. then yes I've stayed there. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was a surprise for me from my better half for my birthday. Its full of history everywhere you look, including the 1942 International Fire Truck and original Fireman's pole. I would definitely reccommend it for a night or two, but probably no longer than that as it is more of a novelty thing than anything, and it does wear off. 

Goodluck mate. Keep us posted. I'm sure there are a few people out there who would be interested in finding out what stage the recruit process is at.
