Issues with waiting times for AIB and lack of communication from AFCO

[fishhead]

Hello, does anyone know anything about the current TMO recruitment?

I recently found out that the Navy isn't currently recruiting for the TMO role and is only prioritizing warfare officers(submariner) at the moment. Now, I am just wondering how this development affects my application?

Did you hear that from an official source( i.e. AFCO) or just from the rumour mill?

It does state on the RN Careers website that we are not currently recruiting TMO's. If you have an engineering background and relevant degree, why not consider Engineer Officer?

Hi.Yes, the information is from an official source.

Problem is, I do not have an engineering background- I have a law degree.

That does limit your choices. If X(O), X(SM) or logs do not interest you, maybe wait for 6 months or so and see if TMO branch opens up for recruiting.....Best bet in the meantime is to keep in contact with your ACLO to discuss your options and keep a weather eye on the RN recruiting website. Good luck with your application, I hope it works out for you
