Had the final interview yesterday along with an interview with a psychologist and hand/eye coordination tests. Went well I thought, now just a matter of waiting on the postman to find out!

alright guys,
had my interview and related tests on monday. everything went well. to anyone that goes for it next year or later this week, its completely fine, everyone up there, interviewers, psychologist, etc were approachable and were there to help you. Its not stressful at all, and once your in there I found you`ll actually enjoy yourself in showing them what you have to offer the air corps.
  so now the waiting game begins.. ':p'
best of luck again joe, i know you`ll do great.

well at the end of the day everybody has different strengths.

a sixth year (im just after doing it) could possibly have:
1. a good work ethic, a good focus on studies.
2. an ability to take, obey and follow orders.
3. be an effective organiser ( planning your study in a clear and concise manner, setting yourself attainable goals and striving to achieve them)
4. anything! everyone`s different!

from my experience in the competition so far, being yourself is the best way possible to do yourself justice. that way you`ll have no regrets about how you performed because all you can be is who you are.

all the best with the leaving this year (work from day one and it seriously takes the pressure off in may)
by the way if you are doing construction studies ; electricity, foundations, concrete, and the fireplace drawing are dead certs this year!!!! they didn`t come up for us at all  '<img'>

greetings all,a newbie here!!
i'm planning on applying for the cadetships next year,but i have a question.i recently got an eye test done and,alas,didn't meet the 6/9 standard(i'm 6/12 in one eye and 6/18 in the other).
i'm really disappointed by this and i'm wondering is there any "flexibility" in this requirement?
don't want to sound cocky but i think i meet every other requirement pretty well,i've been working on building up my fitness,relevant experience etc.
anybody know if i'm stil in with a chance?
cheers.
p.s great site frank,i've been a long time lurker!

The only ones to go through the medical (as its so expensive) are the 6 or so potential cadets and a few reserves (in case the others fail). So its hard to know. Your best bet would be to ring the competitions section and ask if there's any flexibility.

no i didn`t thankfully. i found the best way is to start your study from day one. and then factor in the necessary time needed for full preperation in advance. that way your clear in the time you are going to devote to the air corps and to the leaving cert.

hey guys,anyone applying this year get through?!
as i said in a previous post i'm applyin next year for the 1st time,but worried about failing the eye test,anyone have any trouble there?
also,i've been wondering about laser surgery,it says in the conditions that applicants who have had previous incisional or laser eye surgery are excluded from eligibility,wonder why that is? i mean if its good enough for US special forces why not my beloved corps?!
best of luck to all you applicants!and keep up the good work frank! '<img'>

hey marketty,
no word yet!!!!!
awaiting the results of the leaving cert at the mo  ':p'
as for your query on laser surgery, etc. i just wouldn`t know the answer. however a quick ring to the cadetship competitions section next year would put you at ease.
