Don't, I am constantly tripping up over ET WE, CIS and Comms at work. You step into jointery for 20 years and they change the RN whilst you've been away.....
The latest update for ET(WE) is now nearer ten months test to entry (assuming no delays during selection).
Hello All ,
I am new to this site and am not ex Navy but ex Army . I would like to direct my question to anyone who can help but I know that Ninja Stoker seems to have most answers relevant to up to date recruiting . My Grandson who is 15 at present is very keen to join the RN and even now is taking quite a mature attitude to what he hopes will be a future career for him as a Weapons Engineer Technician . He is expecting average to good GCSE results this year but he is aware that it is also down to him scoring a decent result on the Recruit Test . I am giving him as much moral support as possible and also the benefit of some of my experiences in the Forces . As he will be 15 yrs 9 mths in May this year he intends to apply asap , could you please let me know what is the current waiting time from 1st application through to being accepted for HMS Raleigh as a WE Technician ?
Kind regards .

The best answer is to send the lad to the AFCO and pick their brains. I am in no way any kind of expert but reading this forum has taught me that waiting times are a moving target a dependent on the number of recruits required at any one time. @Ninja_Stoker has recently been reappointed to a new job away from recruitment so may not be able to give you up to date figures.
Thanks Fishead ,
