Morning all!
Currently serving in the REME as a LCpl class one vehicle mechanic. Have seen many opportunities for engineering positions within the Royal Navy specifically the submarine service, and it looks like an interesting switch.
There is currently a financial incentive being offered for people transferring into the Navy but the minimum rank it is offered to is leading hand, OR4.
Being that I am a LCpl OR3, a rank I believe you do not have in the Navy, if I were to be successful in transferring would they likely only accept me as a rating? Or would they recognise that I have been an NCO in another Branch?
Any advice from Ex REME or Ex Army blokes that have taken the plunge would be appreciated.
Cheers
