Hi everyone,this is the first time I’ve ever posted on here but not quite sure who else to ask these sort of questions to as I’m in a bit of a sticky situation.
I’m a 16 year old female(turning 17 in 2 days time) and I’ve just received a phone call from the RN asking whether I was still interested in the role I applied for around 6 months ago(hydrography and meteorology) and honestly I think I really want to go for it,the only problem is I haven’t yet mentioned anything about the navy to my mum and I’m not sure how she’d react. I’m currently at sixth form and studying 4 Alevels but I’m really not enjoying it at all and have little to no motivation to revise or work for them(which I know is really bad) but I just can’t stop thinking about joining the navy and I was so excited to have heard back from them today after waiting so long!
Do any of you have any recommendations on what to do in regards to telling my mum aswell as joining at a young age;my uncle was once in the RN and advised me to wait until I’m 18 and try to join as an officer but unfortunately I don’t speak to him much so can’t ask he anymore questions!
Really sorry for writing so much but I’m so confused at the moment and not quite sure what else to do.
Thanks in advance!
