Mines 2pm. She said today would involve just measuring up for body armour/uniform and taking a photo for my warrant card.

Whoever doesn't receive the hard copy today, do you think its worth printing the offer letter attached to the email, so we can sign it and hand it in tonight?

Update: I received my hard copy just a few mins ago.

Just got back from mine. Very sobering feeling seeing yourself in uniform!

[seanl9103]

booked mine for 11 tomorrow.

what did you wear?

I wouldn't worry too much about what to wear, it was all pretty informal, however I went from work so was in trousers and shirt. They take your warrant card photo when you are in uniform anyway.

I too also had mine at 9am this morning. Very good feeling finally being in the uniform. Cant wait.

Tonight's induction event is in the Vantage point building as we now all know. Where in Vantage point is it though?

[seanl9103]

2nd floor i think. Should be signs up telling us, or we should see other people going in.

What time you all planning on being there ?

And see you all later !!

[DS90]

I'm leaving at 5pm due to possibility of m4 rush hour traffic.

If I arrive early i'll head in and begin asking people if they're from this forum lol.

Good seeing you all tonight. Bet your all eager to get stuck in now!!

This intake seems quite a bit different from ours in structure.

Are you getting your uniform already?

Gwent are on the ball this time - it took us nearly 4 months to get our body armour!

Yes, it was good to finally meet everyone. Nice mixture of different people, male and female.

Rich and irobson, i don't think i personally met you.

Had uniform fitting today, i think i looked alot better than i thought i was going to. I think the tailor said we are not having the uniform for a while.

Eager to get started now !!!

Sean, sorry mate-where were you sat relative to the group? I was between Karen and Emma (about 6/7th to introduce myself).
irobson, I don't think we spoke either.....only had a chance to have a chat to DS90 and weirdfish-apologise!

I remember people from the forum but can't remember who's who!! I've never been good with names! Is anyone else surprised that training is only 4 months now?

Has everyone received their hard copy of the letter? Still haven't had mine?

Pilgrim, if I remember correctly-i believe you'll be waiting about 2 months or so. From start to finish took me over a year.....sure the other guys/gals on the forum can shed more light for you with regards to time lengths. Rich

[Gareth_h]

I wonder what we will be doing Wednesday as most of what it says on the timetable I think we already did on Tuesday!

[lrobson]

Where are you all considering as your station choice?

[Gareth_h]

Where are you all considering as your station choice?

Cwmbran or Newport

[seanl9103]

Abertillery or Tredegar.

Whats everyone wearing on Wednesday ?

I'm thinking just a shirt and trousers. I don't want to go too casual and everyone else is smart.

I'm going in jeans and a shirt I would imagine.
