sam2100 how long did you have to wait for the letter after recieving your blood results (after assesment day)?

i reckon it would be over a month between getting blood pass and letter of appointment. but in this time (about 3 weeks after blood results) i got a call saying that i was accepted from DFR. Grace said she called DFR and got hers earlier because of that call, so maybe give it a try if youre desperate for the letter?
looked through your posts and saw youre trying for army? My friend tried for army and got a call saying that she did not make it in in time and therefore didnt make it onto gap. I believe this was before she got her bloodtest results though so chances are youre safe? But yeh, if i were you just give DFR a call and ask them what the go is with your application.
Best of Luck, Sam

Yeh mate thanks for the reply, ive been waiting for a month since positive blood tests, i gave em a call yesterday and left a message on the answering machine, i think its only common courtesy they get into contact with me and tell me whether or not i made it.sam2100 said:

cool
I did army cadets for 6 yrs but like, i am pretty sure thats nothing like being enlisted in the raaf since cadets was basically just wasting time in the bush teaching little kids.
good luck with the exam
my last is chem on thursday, but this hsc has been dragged out so long i have lost all motivation to prepare.

If your at Wagga, enjoy the water, haha Hot as hell during summer, freezing at winter time, enjoy your PT.
Williamtown i hope your not near the airmens quaters near the tarmac!
Glenbrook is just for HQ, Air command, etc.
Richmond = crap hole, enjoy your double bunk bed heater and fan, airmens ness feels cold and empty. I hate getting serves breakfast left overs disguised as lunch and lunch left overs disguised in our dinner. Usually you get good selection of desserts
Sam1200 Raafies waste time in the bush and at Singleton to! Enjoy your rat packs! Bonne apetie!
