what jump counters?? would like to see you do it now
So your next post The Janitar will be from the gun porn link:XD:
Got my license. The wait for the printers to get around to doing it begins.

Finally my license turned up on may 18 after applying for it first week of January. So around 4.5 months waiting time.
It had expired 15 April.
Just had the vetter around....he said around two months wait for the license.
Was vetted 2 weeks ago, rung up today and got my license number and was able to purchase !
It has been about four weeks since the Vetter came over, so it should turn up any day now I suspect. The old one does not run out for a little while yet so fingers crossed.
The Vetter did say that there is an upcoming policy change that may upset a few people namely If you want the license renewed you will be home when they tell you to be home rather than trying to fit around you.
That's what happens in the U.K. They do give you a few dates to choose from though.
When the vetter rang me, he asked if I would be home Saturday morning, it was a long weekend too (Waitangi), they must be busy to be working long weekends, or a lot of people aren't available on weekdays.
Vetted last Friday in the middle of the day which was suitable and agreed timing for us both. The whole experience was completely hassle free, certainly not like I am reading about on this forum. He was very civil as were we - wife renewing as well.
Some areas must have arsehole vetters or people are rubbing them up the wrong way.
Our local man told me it is a 7 day of the week job for him so he obviously works in with the Mon to Fri 9 to fivers.
No recording of serial numbers, he didn't even offer let alone pressure.
FAL Expires in 4 weeks - yes I did submit my renewal in plenty of time. By his estimate my FAL will be very expired b4 new one arrives.
I just received a text from a random number which I can't call back saying that
Regarding firearms application. Have you been to the Mountain Safety Course. if not please reply asap to book.
I did the course on the 1st of march and have been vetted already so maybe there's been a but if miscommunication.

I got a call the other day from a vetter. I'd agreed to be a referee for a mate, and had since forgotten. I'd filled the form in a couple of months back. Anyway, 4-5 questions later we were done. Personally, I'd like to be interviewed abit longer, but he'd obviously passed his initial interview with flying colours, so only needed to make sure our answers were the same.
Makes me wonder about the shady character applying with a couple of mates, whether background checks would raise a flag or not
Slightly different as you need your spouse there too, with a drivers licence you can rock up to the AA at lunch time, etc & do it in 15min, no appointment necessary.
As an aside, I dropped my paperwork in last Wednesday and did the interview this morning after he rang yesterday to sort a time out, same guy who did my wife's one recently so quick & painless over a cup of tea. Now the wait for the licence.
He said there are 12 vettors covering the wider Canterbury region.
Just got an email saying that I should receive mine in a month so here's hoping.

Got mine in the mail today, so just over 1 month from the interview to card in hand.
I just did my renewal early after hearing about these delays. I am not due for renewal for a few months yet (Expires september) but the way this year has vanished so far, september is ot that far away.....And the vetting officer informs me that my new license will still be dated from the expiry date on the old one. I guess I will find out when it gets here....
My new one starts from the expiry date of the old one. It arrived a day after the old one expired so maybe just good timing?
Received mime today. So 2 weeks wait.

Hi All,
It took 4-5 weeks to get my card after I got my letter of Approval.
Totally off topic, but same thing really.
I went into town on Tuesday and renewed my drivers licence. No big deal, except having to get a Drs medical because of my HT, usual paperwork and mugshot taken. My new one arrived today, 3 working days after submitting.
I'd hazard a guess to say that there's a hell of a lot more people renewing drivers licences than FA licences. Sure, no background checks, interviews or anything else, but that's a pretty good turnaround. Why does it take so long for your FA licence to be printed etc when it's the same process
Yes maybe, but I know the AA is not immune from idiocy and has hired a few drongos /drop kicks as well. When my wife went in to renew hers there was quite a queue for the eye machine. Everyone who used it was told to go see an optometrist because they could not see anything in their left eye. 8 people in a row blind in their left eye and NONE of them ever noticed before???? Stupid bitch behind the counter had not figured out the left bulb had blown and was automatic fail for everyone who used the machine. There was nothing but blackness in the left side to see. I was not happy as there was crying and tears because my wife was already very sensitive about her eyes having been seeing the ophthalmologist frequently over previous twelve months in order to save her eyesight.(Successful) There was letters sent, complaints made and a phone vent as well.
