I believe the start date is still June 16th, but I don't think the recruitment committee has made an announcement on the first 18 positions. I guess if we haven't been notified on the results of the medical it must be a good thing

@ flyboy
I believe there is approx 40 being offered the PAT 2 (36 required) as they are doing 2 drill squads before the end of year, and possibly 2 more early next year.
Good luck mate

@ PYR01
I can understand some of your frustration on trying to get employment in SAMFS but you need to look at in a different way. How many jobs have you gone for and missed out by 2 or 3 in the list. I have missed out on numerous jobs by either 1 or 2 people but have secured employment with a great company. I too was on the cab rank system from the 2007 intake, I see it that I missed out by a few but I wont give up. As others are saying SAMFS have a variety to choose from and unfortunately we have not been selected.
Say to yourself "you have not missed out, but SAMFS has missed out on you this time" and keep on going.

SAMFS / Re: RECRUITMENT 2008
« on: March 14, 2008, 03:08:14 PM »I went for my beep test friday, but due to heavy traffic getting to the city I got there like 5mins late and they wouldn't let me in. Wasn't happy considering I was out at a grass fire from 2300 till like 0600 so I thought I did a pretty good effort to get there at all.
Good luck to you all, unfortunately I now have to wait for the next intake next year
Thats a different situation to what I witnessed last year. I completed my PAT 1 and one person who was missing on the role call was late and ran in the third session after me. I guess for you Fire_Rescue it is sad that your dream has ended, but its good that SAMFS has set a hard line in their recruitment to be equal to all that apply.

@ Gasman I was at 10:25 all good my end. Exams on the 17th. Also heard that 450 were accepted for PAT 1 but not sure if this is true. It was a figure spoken about from an Indian whisper so you know the story lol

I feel your pain. Looks like another process of wait and see. It hurts passing the tests and not getting selected for a drill squad.

@ RED Not this time mate.
I have been on the waiting list from March this year and passed all the testing first time around. I do not understand that if you meet the requirements you are not placed on a course even if its the following year and maybe just do the PAT 1 again to ensure fitness is maintained. What more can be said but next time !!!
I think maybe the point system is slightly flawed as applicants that pass at the beginning of this year should be filling the first courses and the next selection should make up the short fall and fill the following courses as to keep the process flowing. My reason for this is our standings are valid for 12 months only and then we need to apply again, even if you are on the waiting list. What major things are going to change?. I am sure this would help SAMFS in their employment as there will be resources available, and also applicants will know their position as the majority are currently employed and would like to work on a time line for their ultimate job.
Sorry if I seem negative I am trying not to (more confused) but being so close in the past 2 intakes I cant understand what it takes besides luck
appreciate thoughts from others good or bad

Hi Guys
Can anyone confirm that females who had failed their first attempted at the PAT 2 have been invited to retest it.
Don't get me wrong!!! I have nothing against females in the service I just thought that all applicants that failed their first attempt would be invited to retest the PAT 2 for the next intake.
stay safe brothers and sister

Hi Guys
What about having a chat room that members can chat about different events and the good points can be open for forum topics later. Just an idea.
Negative is having few people join the chats.
