SA Firefighter

OK panicked just a little bit when i heard people were getting their emails and still nothing in my in-box.  If anyone else is in the same boat i just rang the recruitment office and they stated that the emails will be coming out all week and possibly more today.  Obviously that makes sense seeing they did receive over 1000 applications but its nice to have the mind put at ease.....for the time being anyway.  Fingers still crossed!

Hi Guys, new to the forum but i've been reading the threads for a while.  Submitted my application last Sat but as i understand it it would be a few weeks yet before we hear back.....fingers crossed to everyone applying!
I need a bit of guidance if thats ok, I'm hoping to compete in an overseas cricket tournament with my club and the latest i can fly out is the 12th April.  As you can see that only gives me the option to take the bleep test on the Monday if i'm lucky enough to get through and if by some miracal I get a spot on that Monday.  I wasn't sure about approaching recruitment about this as I didn't want to do anything that would be detrimental to my application.  Getting into SAMFS is my priority, I haven't booked flights or anything yet but didn't know if there was any hope or if I should just tell my team now.  Do you think I could approach them? It would mean contacting them probably before I even find out if i've pasted the application stage.
