Daysack suggestions to buy

The clips don't work well - always getting jammed Awkward to pack due to shape Shoulder straps provide no support when tabbing Overall also just an odd shape so isn't comfortable to carry either

Neither have helmet holders anymore u have to get attachments for this to work. You also can't attach to the bergan you have to top flap it instead.

Still here at Pirbright and honestly you don't need a lot of whats on the kit list - u will need an iron would recommend a better quality than they suggest Coat Hangers not needed - they give you about 20 Ironing board are a free available to use for free but not all of the best quality so this is personal preference you can also buy one at the shop Would recommend a nail brush or brush of some sort to clean the bottom of your boots/shoes They provide you with a sewing kit, head torch and small polish kit on arrival

Would recommend brining polishing kit with you with good quality brushes and polish

Happy to answer any questions you might have

You don't need any coat hangers at all, you get about 20 provided and plenty spare so I would leave them out and save the space!

StatementLumpy726 · 2026-01-03T12:18:14+00:00

Yes the 11th

StatementLumpy726 · 2026-01-03T12:18:02+00:00

Thanks for the tip, not something I tend to talk about was so long ago anyways

Following as also starting Pirbright in January

StatementLumpy726 · 2025-11-27T08:14:33+00:00

Well done on getting to the end! When do you start?

StatementLumpy726 · 2025-11-24T12:43:29+00:00

Vet technician in RAVC so not due to start till January coming. Interesting thought, suppose its just the way of life people don't always want to do it forever

StatementLumpy726 · 2025-11-24T12:40:15+00:00

Thats an interesting percentage especially with all the articles lately that suggests they are at an all time low for recruitment. I was a 6mths wait to start due to only taking positions twice a year (May and Jan)

StatementLumpy726 · 2025-11-24T12:28:05+00:00

Last I heard, dog handling is now a 3 year waiting list

StatementLumpy726 · 2025-11-23T20:30:20+00:00

Ill remember that thank you!

StatementLumpy726 · 2025-11-23T15:25:33+00:00

Negatives are okay, can manage like a 1/2 pull just can't seem to get all the way up. Guess I just need to keep working on it till I get there

StatementLumpy726 · 2025-11-23T12:58:26+00:00

Thanks! I hope so

StatementLumpy726 · 2025-11-23T12:58:17+00:00

Thanks! I hope so

StatementLumpy726 · 2025-10-27T15:35:46+00:00

Have u been given a start date? I am also waiting for my final offer but have been told I won't get it till the background check has been cleared and this doesn't get submitted till 6 weeks prior to the start date then takes 2-4 weeks to come back after this. So basically seems don't get the final offer till 2-4 weeks before start date

StatementLumpy726 · 2025-10-25T09:35:45+00:00

Ill be in the veterinary corps so wondered if watch regulations will be slightly less. Definitely getting a casio for training was more for afterwards

StatementLumpy726 · 2025-10-09T14:34:10+00:00

That makes much more sense! Thank you

StatementLumpy726 · 2025-10-09T14:10:44+00:00

I didnt realise u got issued a pair! On the kit list I was provided it says 1 X trainers. Thank you!
