hi,

i was wondering if anyone could tell me what happened to the other half when one of us is on training at HMS Raleigh. (apologies if not spelled correctly) we are engaged to be married but wanted to wait until he had fully finished his training and have a big wedding but the signed are all suggesting that unless we are married before he goes the other one isn't relevant.

whats the difference in the way the other half is dealt with if we were married or not? Fiancially and otherwise - such as housing, rent/mortgage payments etc.

anything Nyone could tell me would be appreciated.

The usual drill is for the female to adopt a horizontal position and forget him in the arms of old school sweethearts.

The usual drill for the male is much the same, but involves a much more dramatic reduction in standards, and without needing to remember names.

however, I'm not a moron and neither is he- you seriously need to grow up- no wonder your talking about old school- you seem to be stuck there.

Welcome to Rum Ration, stewkatt.

Your entitlement to SFA would be affected by your not being married, but that isn't something you need to think about until after your fiance has completed Initial Naval Training.

When is he expecting to start at HMS Raleigh?

thank you - for an actual reply. he starts in September 30th to be exact and I'm worried about the costs until he finished training? we have a flat, bills and council tax and he takes a good wack of a cut from his current wages whilst in training? does he get anything towards his rent back home etc??

You are moronic enough to permit anyone with the ability to use google to figure out the name of your man (Stewart) and your employment and education history. Spastic.

or you could have just figured that out by my name - genius

Have you been able to sit down and do the arithmetic between you, stewkatt, based on his net income while at HMS Raleigh? It might work out to be more manageable than you thought.

He needs to talk to his careers adviser pronto with regard his committed outgoings and receive qualified advice.

The net income is around £840 per month for the first six months and if outgoings exceed more than around 50% of your combined income, then it can affect suitability for service.

As indicated above, those eligible for SFA apply after training.

hi - well as we speak he is at prnc and I have only got the jist but my job Is only 4 days a week and he will be dropping around £400 a month and money is tight as it is?
does he got nothing towards his living back home - for instance if things didn't work out if he lived alone he would have had to give up his flat etc ??
