Here's my question...does anyone have any ideas on whether or not this new recruitment campaign will speed up the hiring process? So if I do decide to decline BP and stay local, I won't be sittin on my arse for 6 to 9 months waiting to go to the academy. |

They will disqualify you for any little thing now, hence why the current list has "been exhausted" and they are now looking for recruits from outside of the City. |
