HMS Albion has turned up and parked next door to my house by the Thames (beside the Cutty Sark in Greenwich). It's nice to see her again, I watched her being built and launched in my home town.
I can see them setting up a mobile careers centre out of my window as I write this so if anyone in London's thinking of joining up they should come down to Greenwich. There's bags of officers knocking about around the Cutty Sark and chatting to people.
Alas, I won't be paying them a visit. I got the bad news 3 weeks ago from my optician that I'm way outside of the margin error allowed for short sightedness, effectively ending hopes I had of joining :cry:
I've got the standard letter sent from 2SL which details exactly what sight requirements are. When I get the chance I'll scan it and post it as there's a lot of questions about sight in the forum (including mine!)
