Hey,

I'm so glad so many people here are in... i was starting to get a bit worried a month ago when like three of us had enlistment dates.

Question, is anyone getting recruited for Army through Parramatta? and has got their enlistment pack? Not the date, but the pack???

The GE Army enlistment officer keeps saying she'll send them 3 months before enlistment, but has confirmed our places... which is weird...

And a more general question, now that you can be deployed on your Army Gap year is everyone more or less keen. For me and my mates, we chuffed it would be the most awesomest experience!

anyway, back to the study!!

my boyfriend is joining the navy full time and he had to go out to parramatta for heaps of things [tests, info nights etc] is that's what you mean?

he went away yesterday for two weeks for some pilot selection training thing =[[. not looking forward to his year away.

Hey!

I have an enlistment officer, and an enlistment date 9th of February which is all good and well, and good for uni next year! its just she wont send me the last 'pack' until three months before enlistment, which is soon i know... but a little frustrating

I've got friends going through Parramatta (Which is in Sydney's inner west) and she wont give them their stuff either... Its odd, cause we were on DFR's Candidate management center (Thats your case manager, and all the people at 13 19 01/ 13 19 02) case from the start and got through YOU/Assessment days/ Blood work really early. (Having some friends in the army side of DFR helped... and now, we got nothing...
Once we got sent onto the enlitment officer everything slowed down, she's like "Your in...now sit tight)

There will be some girls, always are, I had friends recently complete Reserves Pooka and look at your assessment day's population...

 

[Greekgirlie]

hey anyone who has an enlistment date have you all done those blood tests etc. do they make you class 1 when thats all gone through?

i was told i was through but not told to get the blood tests or anything yet. haha havent gotten any documentation though.

hey, I recieved pathology forms in my pack! havnt had test yet just have to have them back and cleared few weeks before enlistment!

 

[annzy]

i had the pathology test two weeks ago, havent heard anything back? so i am guessing it was all good otherwise they would have called. there is so much medical stuff!!
