Hello all.
This section seemed the only place to put this.
I'm just wondering -- I mean everyone says and I know the navy travel the world -- but how much of it will the average sailor on a ship see?
I know the RN is all over the world (from Bahrain to the Ross ice shelf), Most of it the ocean.
Would I get to see and explore interesting countries? Or would time alongside be very limited?
Compared to the RAF and army, which branch travels the most? I am guessing navy, but just suspect the navy doesn't spend much time there. Whereas the army is actually based there for long periods.
Just wondering what any sailors, of all branches and jobs have seen of the world.
Thanks.
