Apologies for dropping the grenade and running away, but work called. Having spoken to recruitment ref course dates the direct quote is "there are no more courses planned for the foreseeable future".

As stated previously, swimmers can wait for 18 months in the hold pool before being required to apply again.

For those working for civilian carriers i assume there's no great shakes - 3 months notice is 3 months notice.

This does, however, put the majority of us military people at a huge disadvantage. Those of us who have taken a leap of faith have been well and truly shafted. The media wide publicity campaign for the new round of recruitment focused to a large extent on providing opportunities for ex mil. Whilst I'm sure the managed path system will continue, there is no doubt there are alot of us mil guys and gals who are now unable to wait due to mil and other commitments.

Best get the CV updated.
