Just had a successful interview and seemed to impress the officer taking it who let me know then and there.
He let me know that I scored 10% more than the score needed for the toughest requirements branch and comfortably at Officer standards.
I'm applying to be a Medical Assistant Rating and am 32 (so too old to be an officer)
I was about to leave feeling pretty chuffed when another officer stopped me as he'd overheard his colleague and tried to convince me to apply for Student Navy Nurse instead and have my degree paid for and a salary from day one whilst I get qualified.
The thought of going back to uni for 3 years really doesn't appeal as I wanna get out at sea asap. I believe as well that when qualified as a nurse I'll be mostly based on shore?
He seemed to turn his nose up a bit at me wanting to be a medical assistant and also said I should consider Communications Technician (which my interviewer was)
Not a bad problem to have but not sure what to do now!?
