Can I get any recommendations on watches to buy for HMS Raleigh, basic training please? Thank you.

Hi I'm just about to go to Raleigh in a few weeks and need the following questions answered: 1) Are showers at HMS Raleigh private? 2) Do you get ANY leave for the duration of your Phase 1 training? 3) How many persons in one dorm? Any answers would be hugely appreciated! Thanks.

So this week I passed my AIB with a near perfect score, the Board President said it was the best score he had seen from a potential Warfare candidate in a fair few years. He is also more than confident that I will be selected for the May intake. I was just wondering what happens now while I...

I know there are posts out there about being a WS but they all seem fairly old (posted around '08, '09). I've read about Phase 1 training and what really happens. However, cannot find anything on Phase 2. - What do you actually do? - What is in the training? - Where is the training? - Do you...

Could anyone explain the reasons for some roles being high priority? the reason behind the lack of numbers in the HP branches job roles?

Hi All, Applied for officer and after sitting the recruit test was informed my English Skills in the test wasn't up to standard but my Maths and Mechanical Comprehension was the best out of the group sitting it with 100% in Maths. I was given the option of resitting the recruit test in 3...

I'm currently going through an application to join the navy as a warfare specialist and was wondering if anyone could tell me how long deployments tend to be for a job like that.

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...

I want to join the Royal Marines next year. I also want to go to war. Are they currently fighting in any wars, or are there any upcoming wars. - Thanks

I had a look around but still can't find a few bits of info relating to the role of a divisional officer. I have passed AIB and am waiting for a place at Dartmouth as a warfare officer. Would I be immediately made a divisional officer when I am placed on my first ship or is this only after the...

This is just my personal experience, and will be updated as I progress throughout my career as a potential Warfare Specialist - this is to give you an idea of timescales and other waiting times that you may experience during your application. Firstly, about me - I'm a 16 year old male in good...

Hi all, I have lived in France since i was 8 (now 20) but was born in England, and i'm planning on moving back to join the Royal navy and would like some help answering some questions. -Will i have any problems joining up on account of not having a UK residence and having lived out side of the...

Hi all, I'm hoping to pass selection and start at BRNC Dartmouth in January and I was just wondering what the leave was like during initial training phase 1. Do you get any time off between stage 1.1 and 1.2 and 1.2 and 1.3 or is it straight into the next stage of training. I also hear that you...

Navy-Net Users, I have a burning conflict of uncertainty (well burning to me anyway's) regarding the route to take following completion/pass of my recent RT. In the CA's word's "I smashed it" which he explained has opened the door to pretty much whatever Branch I would like to go for... with...

Hello all, Hope I haven't posted in the wrong section! I'm highly interested in joining the Navy as a Warfare Specialist. The reason for this choice is because I'm especially interested in using the Gimpy's and mini guns. Am I wrong in thinking it's a WS that does this? I've read through...

Okay so like many others here, this is also my first post so be nice :) Basically, the goal is Warfare Officer and I've done a few bits and bobs to get me on my way. In December I spoke to a careers advisor, who advised me to perhaps start the process in August. (I get my exam results here)...

Hello! I just had my recruitment test this morning, I applied for the role as Aircrewman and sadly I failed. I managed to pass the Reasoning and Mechanical Comprehension parts of the test however I failed literacy and since i'm absolutely shite at Math I failed the numeracy (And wouldn't you...
