Oh ok. The whole process must be very slow. I haven't even had my YOU session yet lol and I applied back in May. Hopefully I find something out soon. I really hope I get in. I'll be crushed if I don't.
Good luck with your assessment day.

Cheers, if i get one.

Yeh i have a feeling that they must be rushing ppl thru the army GY, dont know why, and leaving navy and even more so raaf till later,
BUut i applied same time as you did, have u had your online testing? dont know why you aren't at the same stage as me, probablly coz only 20 ppl apply from Perth for the GY.
I'd give them a call if i were u, ask them whats going on,

Congrats!
I've rang them up like 5 times and every person has just told me that I'll find out by september 15th. So I waited. Still haven't heard anything but some people I know have just got emails about their YOU sess so maybe I'll find out in the next few weeks.

Good to know that I'm not alone. It's so unfair, I applied way back in May and I waited for over 4 months! If they'd told me earlier I would've applied for ADFA, like ages ago! Stupid Chandler MacLeod!!!

My ADFA application didn't go too well either. Everything went smoothly until they gave me a list of YOU session dates to choose from and all of them are right before my last HSC exam. So I had to quit my app.:cry:

Now I feel so unwanted...:( This is my worst day ever!

Oh btw congrats to all who made it ... at least to YOU session. :hammer:

even if you did your you session in november, i'm not sure they could've rushed your app through in time for 2010 entry (for adfa, that is)....seems like a long shot to start with
That's true - in it's infinite wisdom the ADF only runs one OSB (Officer Selection Board) a month with a maximum of 10 candidates, this is the stage after your assessment day which is the stage after your YOU session... It's quite a lengthy process!

And the ADF wonders why there are a shortage of junior officers in the services *sigh*

hey sorry to all u guys who didn't make it through, its definately unfair to judge you guys before u even had a YOU session, cause many ppl just get their parents to do the online app, cheat basically, when u guys might have done it honestly.

one of my mates got through but another got told he didnt and he was pretty crushed...the only thing i could think of telling him is that if its what he really wants, there is always ADFA and reserves/full time or even the Gap year next year.

good luck to every1 who got a You session

This year was the first year it wasn't 'first in best dressed' they took people who applied just the day before it closed. I only applied a week before and I got through.
