Hi there, I've been thinking about joining the Royal Navy for a few months previous and finally decided I wanted to do it.
Last week I had a week off work, so went to the AFCO in Lincoln (I live in Scunthorpe), and got some information from the careers bloke there and got myself an application form.
I posted the form this Tuesday with the SAE they provided, I noticed it was 2nd class, so it should be there by Thursday or Friday.
I was just wondering if somebody can give me a rough idea of the 'timeline' if you get what I mean
I'm assuming I will get a date for the aptitude tests within a week or two, so if somebody could give me a rough idea how long it takes from stage to stage and ideally from filling in your application form to starting your basic training at HMS Raleigh.
The 1st preference I've put on the application form is: Steward, so does the waiting times and entry/non-entry depend on if the job itself is over/under supplied? and the persons aptitude tests?
Yeh, so if you helpful people on this website could do that for me^
, I've only been on it for a few days but it looks like a helpful site with lots of helpful members 
Thanks,
Benjamin Peter Wood
