Joining as Deck Officer Cadet

[CaptainMoleman]

I've applied for the position of Deck Officer Cadet and have my Sift interview on the 14th of September. I'd greatly appreciate any advice on things to expect + any useful links to learn more of the RFA. I'd also appreciate anything about the AIB, which I will hopefully get to!

AIB is covered to death here.

Super-condensed key points:

1. Teamwork - make friends with your team.
2. Fitness - no point smashing a two-day assessment to fail the run and look silly at the end.
3. Current affairs - learn them; read the papers and think about what it means for the Andrew.
4. Interview practice - you have a limited amount of time to stand out from the crowd. Ad-libbing is a poor strategy; remember the 7 Ps!
