Its a massive place now with around 3000 personnel there. Its easier to get out on night leave and for you youngsters who need plenty of junk food to keep you going, there is a Maccy Dees right opposite the main gate.
Fareham town centre is about 2 miles away and Gosport is also around 4 miles away.
As Tattodog has alluded to, it is a bit less restrictive than Raleigh, but you will still have the usual training school things to do, so do not expect to much leniency etc.
Enjoy it, but most of all remember you are still under training and ensure you don't let yourself get dragged into the slippery slope of 'you cannot teach me nowt' syndrome.

Congrats on getting through Raleigh. I suspect you enjoyed it more than your dad "enjoyed" Ganges! Have fun at Colingrad!

Congratulations stage one overcome. Just one point though you are only just starting to learn this will go on for the rest of your Navy career there will always be something new to take on board.
Cheers Fella's for the info. I understand its ive still got my branch training ahead of me so i wont have that syndrome about teaching. Looking forward to it, and its much easier to get to (collingwood) as i only live in littlehampton, which is about hour away by train. Just gotta re-pack and get train times done. Btw that reminds me, do you need all the kit issued to you at raleigh to take down with you? or is there additional kit u need to take down as well as what already been issued?

Take what you have been issued with, you are still under training so you will need your 4's for classroom, 5's for scran at night and your P.T. gear for the obv reasons. You will need your 1's also incase they ping you for colour duty etc.
Your given a big enough locker to store it all away neatly. Keep your shoes all shiney for the drill staff, saves you becoming tone death!
Good luck

RA during Phase 2. Officially - NO. But what is stop someone going home when on 'night leave' It is pretty hard to enforce unless they are juniors when they are bed checked by the duty PO. If you do intend fudging it, just remember that if you are adrift or get caught, you will be well in the cacky poo. You will also find it difficult to get home every night as you will have plenty to keep you occupied whilst under training. My advice would be to stay on base as that will also enhance your ability to revise etc.
Also worth mentioning that you will be allowed to wear civvies to scran each night except when you are duty.
Another thing. Bear in mind that the massive locker and general space you will be allocated at Collingwood bears buggar all resemblance to what you will have when you join your first ship (even a flat top).
