Ah, the secret to receiving the email you've been waiting on, act like Chicken Little on the internet and then the email will arrive the next day...

Mad Dog, you're prescient, Basic Indoc email arrived this morning, 28 Feb. Definitely later that I was hoping for but still a relief. Makes me:

08/25 Application submission
10/21 Assessment
10/27 Interview Selection
11/30 Interview (long gap between invite and interview by my choice based on existing holiday plans)
12/01 CJO
01/04 Class Selection
02/28 Basic Indoc start date

Already accepted the invite but any value to emailing the recruiting rep saying I'm available for an earlier start if a slot opens up?
