I passed my interview yesterday for a Seaman Specialist. Was in a great mood all day until I realised that I can never pass the Ishihara Colour Perception Test, I fail it every time!
I've been reading around the internet and I'm pretty sure you need to be at least CP2 for the Warfare branch. I'm definitely CP3 or lower so if anybody knows for sure could you confirm the standards?
Also, my Psychometric Test score gave me the following options;
- HMOS
- CIS
- Mine Clearance Diver
- Warfare Specialist
- Seaman Specialist
- Aircraft handler/Naval Airman
- Air Survival Technician/Naval Airman
- Personnel Logistician
- Supply Chain Logistician
- Steward
- Chef
I've been advised not to join as a Chef/Steward. I really don't fancy logistics, it just seems like the least action packed role in the Navy. I'm not sure what the jobs are like, could anyone with experience tell me please?
Lastly, if it turns out that I do not qualify as a Seaman Specialist, am I able to divert my Seaman Specialist application to a Royal Marine application during my joining process?
The reason for this is that a Royal Marine seems like the only other action packed job. The main reason I considered the Navy in the first place was to get proper stuck in, hence the reason I joined the warfare branch.
