[Lanc688]

Well its now on to the next step ....

Vernon...well done.

As a matter of interest, how much notice are the military happy to take from you?

Do I correctly assume that you are still in the mil?

Vernon,

I'm going for FTPE start date Jan. Spoke to manning. People are starting to take the P"$£ apparantly and they are adamant that guys will be held to their 6 months notice period from now, excepting robust circumstances.

TBH....given the way that they have treated guys recently, I am surprised that they are even contemplating holding guys to the 6 (or even 12 month notice periods).

Don't worry, I'll walk if I want to and if succesful next week !

Which branch are you with, if you don't mind me asking?

[Driver170]

Sorry im still active but can get released for my new start date. The manager said today because the nature of your job, if you cant make the next training we will get you on the next course

[the stripler]

Looking forward to it ?

Wouldnt say i was looking forward to it as such, but it will be nice to have it in the bag and be able to wynd down a bit...cant believe ive got to this stage to be honest.

Its gonna be an intense year though by the looks of it.. Im being based at motherwell...what about you.?

 

[Driver170]

Did you apply for motherwell like ? im edinburgh

where is our training taking place do you know ?

I aint looking forward to it just put in my termination with the military today because they where sending me away on sunday for a week.

 

[the stripler]

I applied for edinburgh initially, but during interview they asked if Motherwell would be more suitable for me, due to living this way. I said edinburgh wouldnt be a problem but any other station is fine also. The interviewer said Motherwell is close by isnt it? Which to be honest is 15 minutes away for me and is perfect.

I think the training is initially glasgow where the interviews take place for the first parts and then who knows..

 

[railman73]

hey Congrautlations to you -- i also am starting Motherwell. Got my contract though today -- makes it all real seeing it in black and white!

It said to report to Atrium court for initial training - corporate introduction! Got my free rail pass through as well!

Guess i'll see you there........

Thanks Railman, look forward to meeting you, all going well.

How did you find the final interview and reactions test?

 

[railman73]

I found the reaction test not too bad -but i am used to playing games on the PS3 and the Wii - that apparently helps a lot.

The final interview on the other hand i found much harder -- the questioning is so intense! I was constantly worried about saying something stupid. Had to really concentrate in just answering the questions with babbling on too much!!

Glad its all over, but now i guess the hard work REALLY begins!
