Good Things Come in Threes

[KJWilliams1994]

So first @Deano89 then @CaptainFlack and now I can finally spill the beans myself. I can’t quite beat CaptainFlack’s record of 13 years, but it’s been 6 hard years from the young 19 year old who applied for North Wales. Just to reiterate what has already been said on the other 2 GMFRS success stories. Do NOT give up. You will make it there eventually, and the feeling you get when you get offered that position is unforgettable. This forum will be the place that will guide you through every process you go for.

Preparing to fail is failing to prepare. Preparation is key. Attend taster days, attend GMFRS presentations. Visit the stations. Learn the brigade you’re going for.

Thank you everyone on this forum for taking time out of your busy days to give the best help and advice you could! Looking forward to meeting a few of you around the stations!

Congratulations mate, well done

[Damien]

Awesome news! Congrats!

[TandA]

Well done.  Enjoy that feeling for a while and then prepare for the next stage of the journey - the recruits course.

[Carl]

Congratulations, well deserved and again a good example of putting the work in and getting where you need to be. 

I do hope yourself @Deano89 and @CaptainFlack do stay around and either document your journey through the blog facilty or at least assist others to get their dream. Moving on, I would love you guys to begin to shape the future of this forum and become regular posters in the Operational Sections as you move through your career, after all, in 5 years time I will be gone, along with many others who provide the advice now.

@Carl I’d happily give my everything to a forum that gave me so much help. 

[Deano89]

I've already started to look more at other parts of the forum ? getting carried away with myself, I'm here to stay 

[CaptainFlack]

I'm going nowhere  - gladly write a recruit blog when I start

[Jet]

Well done to all of you. You've picked a good time to join with some promising changes incoming. Good luck on the course and anything you want to ask about the service, I'm here to help and I suspect @Carl will be happy to as well (he'd probably be more help than me ?)

[Noddy]

Well done 

[JonesMrJones]

Congrats. 

Look forward to hearing how you all get on!

@KJWilliams1994 Enjoy

Nice to meet both yourself and @CaptainFlack this week.

So far so good for these guys on the course. Hope you continue to enjoy it.

[Carefree]

Great effort guys, well done.  

Keep your head down during training and work hard.  

Like Carl said, I hope you stick around to help and advise those who are wanting a career in the fire service, you were those guys not so long ago.

Good luck.

[CaptainFlack]

We are both still here and will continue to give advice but there isn't even time to breathe ?

Week 7 starts tomorrow - half way through the course already.

@Carl hope your course was successful boss ?

It was
