just curious to know how long you can be away from home and how long you’ll get when your back home?

Recently applied for the Royal Navy as I had in the past but failed the test for the role In which I applied for, they then offered me a chef position and I stupidly turned it down due to some of the stories I’ve heard such as they don’t get time off and don’t get to the see world as much as the...

Hi, New to this forum and have a question regarding the joining process. I've passed all the recruitment tests and been given a start date for my basic training and a date for my Pre Royal Navy Course. Assuming I pass the PRNC am I guaranteed to start basic training on the start date given to...

Hi there, Roughly two years ago I signed up with the Royal Navy, I went on to complete my pre joining tests. When it came to my medical, it was put on hold as they needed to decide weather they could pass me fit due to an injury I had acquired at around 14 years of age. I had a tiny, hairline...

Hi all. So I'm currently in the process of joining the Royal Navy as an AET but the last few weeks I've started to think maybe I missed the boat. I'll be 29 when/if I join. I know it's not too old by Navy requirements, I'm just thinking it's too old in a socially acceptable way. Any opinions?
