--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Hi there guy's,

O.k,here is my dilemma.As some of you know i applied for cambs(regs) back in November and i am waiting to hear whether or not i have passed papersift! I have a feeling i am going through intital security checks as i keep getting emails from them for additional information. My dilemma is:

A) The recruitment process for cambs is soooo long,18 months + for a start date(i have been told they have a huge backlog) so i was thinking i would really like to apply for the specials in the mean time just to see if i like it and to gain some valuable experience. Would this be agood idea?Will they allow me to do this?Will this go against my application for the regs if i am a special??

B) Also i applied to Cambs because Herts weren't recruiting at the time i submitted my application, but herts is so much more convienient for me so i would rather apply for Herts specials not Cambs?Surley this would look bad though wouldn't it?? I really dont know what to do!
I have friends in both forces and have heard great reports from both,it's just that Herts is where i live and would be the better option for me regarding travelling.

In desperate need of some advice!

Thanks loads!

Hi

Im paul.....I appled for Herts regs and failed the assesment centre, so applied to the Herts specials in Feb, then had my PIRT in mid March, and then interview at the end of March, and i have my fitness and on the 18th April. The training is ment to start on the 3rd June. I also heard that the start date could be September, so the wait is not too bad.

I had my interview March 22nd and given the 18th for the fitness test and a June 3rd training start. I have had to be re allocated the fitness test. I now have it May 2nd due to my other half having surgery at the QEII.
