January 2004!!!!!!!!
I only had to wait a year because I failed the 2nd interview 1st time, and had to wait to reapply. Still all is well that ends well. Use that year to practice learning text verbatum, it will help alot.
Just recently passed my met course. Another notch on the belt.
Good luck on the course when you two eventualy get on it.
I wonder if they will be back onto shifts then?
