    On another note, this may be a stupid question, but why is there a mess bill at BRNC? Shouldn't they just link in costs with our pay? Its not like there is a choice between Navy or private accomodation like there would be after training... Ta.
    It's to get you used to wardroom life from the outset, mess bills are a way of life for hossifers.

    The mess bill isn't to pay for food/accommodation it is to be a member of the mess, the same way that Senior Rates/SNCOs pay mess bills.

    Mess funds are also 'non-public' and as such the money won't come from your pay account direct, unlike food/accommodation charges.

    Give a man a fish and he'll feed his family for a day,
    teach a man to fish and he'll sit round on a boat all day drinking beer.

    Submariners seldom cheat, and NEVER lie!

    Why is it acceptable to cry at a wedding but not to laugh at a funeral?
