Cold weather training?

[millygirl2702]

Hiya newbie here.

I was scouting the RN website and came across “Cold weather training”. I wanted to know does everyone get a chance to do this training? Or is it dependent on role.

Also whilst I’m on the subject of training and activities. I’ve read somewhere that every year you can go and do a weeks activity skiing,diving etc is this true? Is it free ? And what countries do they do these training based activities in?

Any info would be great thanks

I’ve been out a few years, but I heard ‘downhill skiing’ is still quite prevalent amongst some.

Hope this helps.

Cold weather training will be role specific. Skiing, diving etc comes under AT and is held all over the place. If you're thinking of joining up I'd cross that hurdle first.

What does AT stand for? I have my PJIFT to go and that’s it. I’m just finding out as much info as I can really

Stop baiting the newbies. Poor wee souls have come in here asking bone questions because they don't know they are bone. Be more gentle with them.

However, if the OP wants to know what AT means they could do no better than look at the forum title they have posted in

Cold weather training is role specific. Wafu's, do quite a lot if drafted to a 'Junglie' Squadron as they operate a great deal in Norway. I imagine comms ratings attached to Commando units also have the pleasure. Junglies use a place called Bardufoss. Snow holes, skiing and other such activities. I consider myself lucky enough NOT to have taken part. Give me a warm Caribbean beach with a chilled rum punch any day.

Should have been a Wafu. You'd have been tucked up nice and cozy in your scratcher!!!!!

Cold weather training should be called bloody cold weather training.

The USMC made a big thing about it the other year but if a load of matelots can do it .. ......


I am glad I was over 40 and didn't have to have the pleasure of the ice breaking drills.

My next door neighbour trained the USAF and USN in cold weather survival at NAS Brunswick. Naval SE rates went Stateside to train them. All had to be CSI's. Combat Survival Instructors which meant they had to have completed the SAS survival and interrogation course with 22SAS. (Never did get my KBAR I was promised!!!!
