Hello,
Can anyone offer their opinions on applying to join the Royal Navy as an Weapons Engineering Officer versus Marine Engineering (Submariner) Undergraduate Apprenticeship Scheme (UGAS (MESM)). I am eligible for both (this has been confirmed).
I come from an apprenticeship background, starting back in 2007. I have worked as a manufacturing team leader for one year and a manufacturing engineer for 3+ years (post university).
I enjoy both the technical support aspect of my job and the guiding/training of manufacturing staff. I also really enjoy learning/studying.
I see two great career opportunities one being a more leadership role and the other being a more technical role (both pay well). I know i can take on both challenges. All i'm am asking is what others would do in my position.
What are your thoughts? Should i go on for officer because I've worked hard to gain my engineering degree or stay technical because my experience.
Kind Regards
