Phase 2 question

[ReggieBoy]

I’ll be doing my phase 2 training at hms Raleigh as I’ve applied to join the logistics branch

I know phase 2 is a bit more relaxed and you can go home at weekends but I was wondering at what time on the Friday are you allowed to leave ?, I’ll be leaving a wife and daughter at home so I was just trying to work out how often I’ll be able to get home during phase 2 (I currently live in Glasgow)

Also if anyone has done the commute between Raleigh and Glasgow, what’s the best way to do it ?

If anyone could give me any advice on this I’d much appreciate it

Thanks

I’ve no idea if you’ll finish at lunchtime on Friday or not, but for getting to Glasgow then a drive to Bristol and flight to Glasgow is probably the quickest/best way.

I'm just about to go to Raleigh for Phase 1 from Glasgow, obviously I can't go home during that, but in Phase 2 I'll be making the long arduous journey by car when I do go back to sunny Loch Lomond.

Wouldn't Exeter- Glasgow be an option?

Are you doing phase 2 at Raleigh?

As far as I know, I may be wrong. ET (MESM)...I'll look into that, but either way...

Just had a look and they do a direct flight, looks more expensive than Bristol but it’s a shorter drive from Raleigh so looks the best option so far

I thought about driving but would probably be cheaper flying with the fuel you would use ha

Aye but by the looks of it, a drive from Raleigh to Exeter (not having a car with you) is a long time by bus - too long for me haha. I've a few mates who do the drive from Portsmouth in 6 and a half hours or so, so it's no much more i'd guess.

6 and a half hours is ok

I thought it would be more, I’ll probably drive aswell then, that’s that sorted

Could be around £80 each way by car taking realistically 7+ hours

Not in my fancy Prius.

Kidding, but aye, lets hope I've more mad Glaswegians hitching along.
