Of course you were, of course you were. It's amazing how people who hate FOSTies suddenly defend the organisation once they join....

It makes it even more fun when you go back and do a BOST after you have left. You spend all the time wondering, 'was I like that when I was on the staff?'

The answer is 'yes'

alright guys i was just wondering how you become a ship int officer? and whether anyone could give me some knowledge on what you do in IWOF and IWOC? Also can I branch off to Int but will I still be able to go on ship because that is the reason why I want to join the Navy (go figure)?

I think after completing IWO you study at HMNB Devonport however I don't remember the time scales. Does anybody know these please? Any help would be most appreciated!!

old thread now I know. I wanted to check I have the correct information, just got this pdf fact sheet on HM officer from the navy website:

http://c69011.r11.cf3.rackcdn.com/79...90da6b-0x0.pdf

it says specialist training begins at the Flag Officer Sea Training HM School in Devon. You do 14-weeks basic surveying then a 19 week Meteorology course. It goes on about gaining degree upon training completion.

So, from completing training at BRNC do you go straight to the school in Devon?And after the 33 weeks of the above courses, where does the degree feature in all this? Do you gain it in the 33 weeks?? do you study it part time after the 33 weeks? Other than the pdf above and a few threads i found on the forum there seems to be little information around on this specialisation

thanks
