sydav,
im sure there will be a bravo batch this year. its all good, i think there are less applicants in the bravo batch and you can also prepare yourself physically while waiting for the intake so when the time comes you will be in good condition.
waiting really sucks but as dj852 said "good things comes to those who wait" is true hehe! it would be great if we see each other in PALav guys so lets give it our all!
