How is it all going Thor? Over half way now? Have you picked your preference for stations yet?

I see the MFS website has been updated to say it is not known when the MFS will be recruiting again!! Did anyone find out if there is a recruit course scheduled for May next year as well as the March course?

I heard that calls went out last week informing that letters will come out by the end of the year for a recruit course at the end of March!! Either way it seems like a long time between the phone call to time of pat2.
Pat 2 in april... I have heard on good authority that the next 22 were called last week to come in for pat 2 for a recruit course that begins in may. Spewin I wasnt one of them .... Hopefully they run another late next yr like they did in 2009/2010 pool.


Does this mean there is going to be two courses early next year?

A question to Thor or anyone who has been in a drill squad. How many reserves are taken to do the pat2 and medical?
Cheers

I think its only 2 usually. Have u heard something?

Just looking through the previous posts and noticed that there were either 2 or 4 reserves mentioned and was interested to see if anyone new the number who had been on a course?

Yeah triple j just playing the waiting game with a few others on this forum. I have heard a number of different versions as well what might or might not be happening in the next year.

Hey Ferret.... I've heard there is going to be a drill squad in February.  Do you know if there is any truth to this?

Is this info from people being notified for pat2 or from someone in the service triple j?

You've got it all wrong you just need to be a footballer at SANFL level or greater or a sportsperson that's been in the public limelight then you're in!

 :-D


I once thought the same and obviously the media training etc would help these people alot more than the average person but they still need to pass all the same tests. What I found interesting at my written test is that there where three high level footballers two of AFL level. The two AFL guys didn't get through but the SANFL guy did. Thor do you know if he is on your squad?

Just looking to get info regarding feed back from the interview stage. I'm in the stay fit group and was wondering if I didn't get a spot on a course if they end up giving you any feed back on your interview?

Hey Ferret, Have you heard anything about a Drill squad next year?

I heard a rumor last week and that's all I'm taking it as at the moment that they may take another drill squad early next year. After that drill squad it will all depend on people leaving the service as they will already be above the level they like to keep. As I said earlier it's only a rumor and things can change quickly.

Well done to all that are in the first drill squad!!

Hey Bolts, were you in the first drill squad of your recruitment year?? if not how long after the first drill squad were you notified??

Best advice I could give is: don't put your life on hold waiting to get in because you never know when or if they will call. And if u have the stay fit letter unless u are given a rank number you could be well down the list. Call mara and ask where u stand and the chance of a call up

For anyone who is interested in finding out their rank number as well I rang HR a few weeks back and was told that they hadn't planned on giving out the rank No's even though they knew what rank everyone has but maybe call back further down the track to check.

That's great news Thor and Tammy congratulations.I can only imagine how pumped you both must be getting those letters. Good luck for the course and for the future and hope to join you both soon.

Hey Ferret, any more word on how many drill squqds they will do from this intake?  It seems like a massive task just to recruit 18 people?

Ferret might know more but i have heard from a number of people in the service a range of different versions of how many squads will be taken and how many have been placed in the pool. I suppose until you are in the door on your first day anything could happen from the stories on this forum.

Thor did you need to inform the Doc about your knee recon at the medical? I have had one done years ago as well.

Thanks Ferret. I was thinking of ringing Mara but thought if they new our rank or wanted us to know they would have told us by now like they have done in the past. I might wait a bit like you have suggested and give her a call. Even if it's a rough guide it will be better than nothing.

Hi there. New to this forum and have been looking over the recruitment section. I was one of the lucky ones i guess who got a stay fit email now i just have to play the waiting game. Congrats to Thor and Tammy well done and good luck for your future career I'm a bit jealous but still holding on with some hope. A question for anyone who has done the pat2 after being put in the pool is how much notice do they give you before you do the pat2?
