Dannyboy220 Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 Famous last words! Ben, how long since application, before you had your interview mate? Brother in law just out in for a ticket so wondering what the current wait is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benkent Posted January 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 I sent in application end of November. Fao came yesterday and was very happy. But now I'm worried went to the pub near my mates when he finished work I had 2 shandys and who should be in there the firearms officer from last night. Now I'm worried he might thrown upon my application as I was in the pub. As I say only had 2 shandys but just worried now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 You're allowed to go to the pub...... even have a shandy or 2, unless you told the FLO you were teetotal and never a drop would pass your lips then don't worry..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benkent Posted January 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2017 Cheers mate that's what my mate said just makes you worry after all that hard work and don't want him to think oh I'll go and take that application back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted January 25, 2017 Report Share Posted January 25, 2017 Having a social life and friends is more important than being a teetotaller..... Happy people with good support networks don't go on murderous rampages...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walshie Posted January 25, 2017 Report Share Posted January 25, 2017 (edited) What was the FEO drinking? Being teetotal has never been a requirement for getting a FAC. Edited January 25, 2017 by walshie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benkent Posted January 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2017 Completely agree Hdav I've got really good mates who I enjoy socialising but I am very sensible and I'll always get a cab back from the pub if I do end up wanting a drink. He was actually drinking lime and soda water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dougy Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 For goodness sake come on your applying for a FAC not a replacement for the Archangel Gabriel's job. It's normal behaviour for ordinary people to;- Drink Alcohol, Read tabloids, Swear, Look at other women, Even Show interest in girly magazines. Just because you have shotguns or rifles doesn't mean you stop doing every thing else. Just don't misbehave in an illegal manor, or mix with strange people;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benkent Posted January 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 Lol Dougy I only mix with strange people they are the best ones it's less boring with the strange ones lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
