Good luck mate, don't hold your breath though. My AFCIO told me when I re-applied that I could be on PGAC in Feb and TG in March. Turned out to be PGAC in April and probably TG in June!
Ah well, best of luck to you bud, ASTs are easy and the interview isn't too bad at all. Medical is 'interesting'

Im currently awaiting my PGAC dates to come through hopefully this week mate as i had my medical last week so could possibly be on the same date as you but iv been reading that people are getting dates for May recently.
Hopefully ill get a date for atleast May as im currently going through physiotherapy with damaged muscle in my leg and im not allowed to run/train for a while

lol yeah i heard the medical is weird, but well strict. i just hope i pass, its the only thing im worried about to be honest because i know i can at least revise for my ast nd do loads of training for pgac, but i cant do anything about the medical!! lol

yeah he told me i could be on a tg hopefully in july, but im not holding my breath i wouldnt be to bothered if it was a month or so after, just as long as i get in lol

Don't stress over the medical mate, I was in the same boat as you, breezed ASTs and knew i could pass the interview no hassle, then spent the week between interview and medical worrying about it. Turns out in the end it's really not that bad. It is quite in depth but it's not as strict as people make out, you don't have to be a perfect specimen of human fitness! I was gutted as the doc told me I had some loss of hearing in my left ear, thought that was the end of that one. Then she basically told me not to worry as it didn't affect my application at all

Bad News, just heard from the AFCO today, apparently PGAC on this date has been moved back 2 weeks (manpower demands or something). So I'm now off on the 27th of April instead. Two more weeks to train I guess, but I'm still disappointed.

[GunnerBhoy]

Same here mate, was given may 18th been moved to may 25th, like you say though more time to train!

[J4M13]

How long did it take you guy's to get your dates through in the post?
Been about 3 week now since i had my medical and not heard anything, im not to bothered just wondering thats all.

[mr_man_2168]

Erm, took about a week or 2 for me I think. It might take longer if they're looking into anything from your medical or maybe if your AFCO is just busy. I'm sure you'll get your date soon bud

[cottey]

alright just found this website yeah im on the 27th aswell mate, hows your fitness?

[mr_man_2168]

[cottey]
