I received the "keep fit" letter, a mate received a plain "unsuccessful" one.

I dont understand what I possibly did to make it look like that.Possibly too many contradictory answers?
Seems like it will be wrapping up soon - waiting for something in writing before I truly believe I made it into the service.
Well its better than previous years when you had to spend about $2000 on truck license, first aid and a computer skills certificate just to send in your application. The process will never be perfect and unfortunately the job isnt for everyone so a lot of people who dont get through the personality profiling are simply not suitable.
Far from whinging and doing nothing about it, I am trying to do something that enables myself and others to understand what they have to do in order to progress further in the career they want to pursue. Doing nothing means you might as well not bother applying in the future, because the process won't have changed and neither will you. The result will be the same.
I work with a lot of current SAMFS employees, some of who are involved in training the recruits. All of them have indicated that the candidates who get through are not always very suitable. Some are great, but a lot aren't especially on the first few drill squads taken from a recruitment process. They generally get better as they get to the candidates from further down the selection order.
This is not just my opinion, many of the SAMFS people I work with have worked with him too. They'd happily swap him for many of the people currently riding trucks in SA.
Has anyone who received the email further information will be forthcoming heard anything this week

It's not uncommon for most workplaces to ask for an interview with only a few days notice.
