I have just been appointed as a call handler at the northern command centre and will be starting the training course in the middle of June. As far as specials are concerned, I had a meeting with Mark Desforges a couple of weeks ago which was really interesting and a bit of an eye-opener. Still filling out the application form at the moment (its given me a few headaches), also had many a fun afternoon trying to chase up my vaccination history. Hopefully getting it sent off this week, so i'll update this when i hear some more news.

Even though people who read this cant reply on here, if you want to talk then just leave me a personal message and i'll get back to you.

Ok so its three days since I sent my application off and i've just got a letter this morning saying i've made it through the paper sift! So I am a bit hyper this morning! Just got to wait for a confirmed date for my test and interview now so i'll be checking the post every morning! hehe.

Just found out that I passed my interview!!! So it turns out it was just me being negative. Takin my medical form to the doctor later to get signed and hopefully the vetting wont take too long! Want to crack on with my training now!

Starting my call handler training course on monday at courtland road which should take up a lot of my time! Things seem to have moved quite quickly so far, so just got to hope that my vetting is sorted without any hitches and then with a bit of luck I should be on the next intake Just need to step up my fitness regime! Because I don't think running once every other day is going to cut it!

Got a date for my medical - friday the 13th! eeek. Hopefully not unlucky for moi. Not looking forward to getting crammed in the audiometric booth again!

[frenchy]

got my medical moved forward to 9am yesterday morning. And even though I had to have a manual audiometric test I managed to get through it ok. So its just a case of waiting for someone from the specials to get in touch with me and give me a starting date
