Hey
I have had the good fortune off passing all the stages of the application process so far and I am on my final stage the rating interview.
I have applied to be NA(survival equipment). I just have a few questions, I have done a search but come up trumps.
So I was wondering do NASE actually get deployed anywhere or go on operations? I have a frightening feeling I will be in a box room in a RNAS fixing life jackets for up to 16 years and won't have any experiences of serving on any ships. And do SE have different departments one side fixes gear, one side teaches survival skills, or does it all go on experience, as in you work your way up to doing survival teaching and briefing, or does it rotate.
I know at the interview they will ask me what aspect i'm keen todo in my chosen branch and i was wondering are NA:SE involved in any of these: the underwater escape training unit in Yeovilton or the Maritime Aviation Support Force in Culdrose or looking after equipment for the search and rescue sea kings in Culdrose.
And what are these dhoby bags I keep seeing in the search lol??
i know I'm not expected to know the ins and outs of the branch for my interview but I'd like a greater understanding what happens after I'm signed off from phase two.
thanks for any help.
