There is an "unhappy under 18" option to leave, but due to cost, it firmly closes the door for anyone wishing to return.Quick question, I was told that if you are under 18 then you can give 11 or so days notice to leave anytime up until the age of 18. As Jess's son is 17 does that mean he doesn't have to give 12 months notice or any return of service, Or is that just at raliegh? I'll read the new contract again. I'm probably wrong.
Easier said than done, but try not to stress too much.Oh dear, my son definitely not wanting to leave I'm hoping this is just a glitch and he will besupported to ensure a pass, waiting to hear from him later! (I hope) I am just the mother! ! !
Update - I got a phone call from one of the higher ranks (missed his title!) today. My son is now 17. He has 2 resits and on level 2 warning purely for the exams. The 1st exam resit passed the second one is next week. He in about week 17 of phase 2. Not coming home as much which I think helping the studying. The guy on the phone was really nice and my son had told me he had failed 2 and I told him to work hard. The guy said everything would be put in place to help achieve and my sons attitude is excellent! I am just worried! Do they generally phone parents? My goodness this is such a rail road. HMS Raleigh was easy compared to the worry of phase 2! Any advice would be kindly accepted!
in my last draft at Raleigh I looked after Phase 2 submariner trainees and was frequently on the phone to parents.
