Thanks for your replies, she's applied for acceralated apprenticeship surface fleet. Her Advisor just keeps saying that they are waiting for dates. I guess I will have to be more patient
It can be a bit of a waiting game, but that doesn't stop the applicant being prepared, staying fit and healthy a must, once in the RN they will have to do all their own cleaning, shoe polishing, washing and ironing, any practice they can get prior to joining will help, as a number of new recruit's struggle with kit musters.
They also get to learn there are 2 of every number in a 24 hour period. They will often be required to work long days, because when they have finished the training for the day, they will still have to prepare their own kit for the next day. for some it can be a difficult and punishing time, be as ready as possible will help. all they have to remember is basic training is a right of access to the RN, it is not how the RN normally functions.
