training

Hello, Can anybody offer any insight in the training for LSO? I know that there is an initial 10 weeks at BRNC followed by 71 weeks at HMS Raleigh. My understanding is that this is not all at HMS Raleigh- but some time spent at sea? Any insight would be helpful, but specifically: Is this...

I just had a couple questions regarding the role of TMO and LO: 1. Are the Navy recruiting TMOs and LOs now? 2. Is it possible to do the AACC course as a LO? 3. When completing the AACC course as TMO, what would your role consist of? 3. Do TMOs get any seatime? 4. Roughly, how often do LOs...

Hi, I'm one of the RFA cadets currently training at Britannia Royal Navy College. We have 4 deck, 2 logistics and 6 marine engineering cadets in our division. If you have any questions about Dartmouth or the RFA training here, feel free to ask!

Currently waiting on my start date, as far as I am aware the intake for AA ET/ME should be around October/November (I could be wrong). My fitness is decent and fairly clued up on my technical knowledge; just wondering if there's anything that I should perhaps brush up on or practice before...

Hi all, I am currently waiting on a start date for the Royal Navy, I’m joining on the accelerated apprenticeship scheme (fast tracked to leading hand) and was wondering when we will start to receive the pay advertised on the website (£31,000) will this start from Raleigh? Phase 2? I’ve asked in...

Well, it's been a long while since I posted last, but I've been a bit busy getting through Raleigh and now into Phase 2. If you've any questions, hit me up - I'll be happy to answer.

Curious to know places I can expect to travel and see, and if I’d have chance to explore where ever I may travel. And what can I expect to do as a chef, such as downtime, hours worked and personal training?

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...

On April 29th I am due to start HMS Raleigh. Moving over from Northern Ireland, and with no family in England I am worried about bringing personal belongings over, and having places to store these until after finishing my time at HMS Raleigh. I am Joining as a Communications Technician (CT) and...

*Observe opsec & persec* If there are OC's looking to do AOP 2018, please feel free to get in touch for a chat. I know there is the pre-AOP weekend but it is always good to start getting to know people asap. Dates have been posted to YOTOs, looks like TAO time to me.

Hey guys, a noob at this and it's a relationship Q so not sure if this belongs here so bare with me! Just got my PRNC and Raleigh dates (July if anyone else has the same start) I'm joining as a MA and have plans to opt into Sub service. I have been single for over a year now and am feeling...

I am hopefully going to have a AIB in the near future for the role of Observer, does anyone have a copy of the training pipeline that is up to date (I only have one from 2015) Thanks in advance!

Anyone off to Raleigh 25th Feb 2018?

Just a quick question for anyone who knows about the navy UGAS. The scheme is seven years long and is split into three parts. The first three years are intensive training, the second three years are active duty, and the last year is when you qualify with your degree. I read on the website that...

Looking for advice on a career change. Currently in the process of applying for Logistics Officer role as I want to push myself to be an officer in the Navy, I've found I keep drifting off to the same thought of where it could take me while I'm at work doing some menial task at work so figured...

Hi there, I'm new to this forum and was wondering if someone would be able to provide some information regarding the training pipeline for an Accelerated Apprenticeship in Air Engineering as the information shown on the Royal Navy website does not go into much detail. I would like to know...

stupid question I know but, if you join as a rating, do you have to shave your hair at Raleigh? I currently have a 2 on the sides and longer on top, almost like Tommy off peaky blinders

Hi there, I am applying for the role of air engineering officer and have my sift interview coming up soon, so i am looking at questions that might be asked, one of which is 'What are the regulations regarding leaving the training pipeline?' I can't seem to find a definitive answer so i was...

Hello all, The thing that killed the cat is bugging me again so I thought I'd post about it here. While it'll be a while for me (hoping all goes to plan), I was just curious as to what happens to RNR officers once they've completed the initial training element? Only been told very vaguely and...

Hi all, I'm CO of a SCC unit with a lot of interest in PT, I have some qualified cadets but they have questions about the drill etc. Is there such a thing as a PT manual? Either by the SCC or the RN? That we can just use for reference? Anthony
