    Evening chaps.

    I'm waiting to hear when my interview is, don't want to hassle AFCO anymore, but can I start security clearance checks etc before going to the interview? I know it can take a while...

    Cheers

    If you have been given a user name/log-in for the SC process than get it done ASAP - it can take months! It may not necessarily hold up an entry date, but that is on a case by case basis.

    Hi all. Thought it best to resurrect this thread rather than start a new one.

    The info on the selection interview is very useful. Does this differ for Commissioned entry? Or will you simply be expected to know a little more about the Service and give a few more examples of leadership, management etc.

    Also, in terms of Service knowledge, is it a case of 'what have we got, where is it, what is it doing?' Or will it be more; 'what is the compliment of the Astute class? What weapons systems are on the Type 23? How many men can an LCU mk10 carry?'.

    Any info would be gratefully received.

    Thanks.

    Hi,

    Im just wondering if anyone can help me?

    Im sitting my interview which is this tuesday coming, i've applied for an AET. Ive used Ninja's guide to help me to prepare for my interview, as well as the points my CA told me to learn from which are: Types of ship, types of aircraft, professional & basic training (Where & what will I be learning), Contractual Obligations, Fitness Targets as well as where I may be based.

    Ive covered all of these points now, I've just got a few questions before I go in. My CA has listed that i need to know types of ship & aircraft, would this mean I would need to know their functions too?

    Secondly is there anything glaringly obvious that I need to cover which I haven't mentioned?

    Thank you

    What should I expect?
    There is a really good prep site that i found that has helped me a lot. it has descriptions of the experience and free practice that is really good... hope this will help.
