Definitely smart casual, but on the smarter side in my opinion... I wore a shirt, trousers and shoes and got mistaken for an officer applicant. Rather that than be mistaken for being lost
It astounded me the amount of people who turned up in t-shirts, jeans and trainers and sat next to a "no mobile phones" sign playing around with a phone and even taking calls.. First impressions count, you want to join a disciplined organisation, why not start properly from the very beginning?
Mine lasted a couple of hours the other week. Was basically presented by a RM WO2, telling us all about life in the Naval Service, we watched a 30 min video covering all the different sections of the Naval Service, RM and RFA included and then spoke about the different requirements for different jobs with regards to fitness and age, qualifications etc. We then had Q & A and were given info packs which includes the all important application form. I then managed to blag a 1-2-1 chat with an Engineering officer who I'd met before at a careers event who was extremely helpful. She even got me a goody bag
