Evening shipmates,A lot of people know me by my writing and love of history, especially naval history and shipwrecks, and so I thought I'd share a few books that may be of interest to those on here.I have written 18 books in total, I've spaced a few genres out (military and ship-related)...
Hi all,
What’s the best way to have a chat with someone about careers? Seems RN/RM AFCOs are now all online and my recruiter doesn’t respond/ hasn’t phoned (even when he said he would).On my end, I’m being harassed to sign a contract for a job (to keep me busy until next) but, for example, I...

Hi, I was just wondering if anyone can give me any details on the sort of questions they'll ask during the interview, as well as likely questions around the royal marines history. I have seen other threads asking much the same thing, however they all seem quite old...

Hi all,
I’ve got a tricky question to ask and would appreciate any advice!
I’m 30 this year and going through the RM recruitment process. Last year I had some counselling through BUPA for my drinking. From researching the medical requirements, it looks like you have to be treatment free 3 years...

Hi guys,I've done a fair bit of research into the roles in all the forces, not just limited to the navy. Basically, I'm 21 and most way through a Human Biology degree. I want some hands on military experience before I'm too old. I do not wish to stay in conventional units such as just the army...

I'm new to this board and apologize if this question has already been addressed, but I was hoping someone currently serving or with a good deal of knowledge could tell me what "jobs" are available to commonwealth citizens?If it makes a difference I am eligible for an ancestral visa as my...
