Re: HMS RALEIGH
Firsst week will be spent training you NOT to say "subs"! They are Submarines, and when you've been in a while you can call them 'boats'.

This is the same whether you're an "ET(MES)" (which I have only just discovered means "Submarine Stoker") or a Cook (hate to think what they call them nowadays.... "Nutrition Technician"?).
If it hasn't changed too much, you'll do some exams on that lot, then do your Escape Training part, then more of your own specialisation tasks.

Re: HMS RALEIGH
I've just returned from Rally & loved every minute of it, though I was only there for a week. I was thrown in with the regulars for my course, now I'm considering joining full time.
It's still quite a big decision though.

Re: HMS RALEIGH
I had assumed ET(MES) meant something like Extra Terrestrial (Marine Engineering Strion*). Preferred the old MEM myself, or better still: Stoker. On this basis I presume Radio Operators (once Telegraphists/Signalpersons) are now FT(CSS) = Frequency Technician (Carrier Signal Surfer) Originally Posted by Geoff_Wessex
