Well Done Shipmate, you made it! ......

Seems a long time ago that we first corresponded, and I am very glad that it all worked out for you.

Now the work begins of course. At times it will seem very difficult, disheartening and you will probably feel like v bad. KEEP ON GOING, apply yourself and you'll do okay. There will be better days and they can be FUN. Best of all, the end is very definitely worth it

Best of luck, as ever

P.S. You get the bottom bunk in the junior rates mess. (no channge there then )

Cheers.

Yes it has been a long journey, and I thank you and others who have helped me along the way. I know sometimes people get frusrated with us "wannabees" asking the same old questions, week after week. So it is very kind that there are people like you who are always willing to help.

I start the course in a couple of months with a little fear but the bags loads of confidence that got me in this position in the first place. Confidence that you and others helped install.

2. What info did you get in your pack about course duration/ accomodation etc?

I believe I got on course due to a cancellation, I have no info at present except I am on the course. I have a load to sort out in such a small space of time, but I snapped it up as soon as I was offered it. Hopefully mate you will get yours very soon.

Are you doing a NATS course or a course through one of the other colleges?

I wonder how many extra people will be on the course and why they have made it larger? Did HR tell you this?

Hi,

From what I have heard there was always the intention to have 30 people on the Sept course, however perhaps they were waiting to see how course 200 coped with the new system before commiting to the larger course (there are 16 on 200)

Hi

Has anyone who is on the Sept course been sent any details of books or anything they need. Isn't likely I'll be starting for a while but wouldn't mind a head start!

Thanks
Dave
